Mark Arcobello News

Arcobello has yet to record a point in seven games with the Maple Leafs this season. He was placed on waivers multiple time last season, so this is nothing new for Arcobello. If he goes unclaimed, expect him to be assigned to Toronto (AHL).

Arcobello will head to his fourth team in five months. Lets hope he has not been unpacking his bags, because he has went from Edmonton to Nashville to Pittsburgh and now to Arizona. Overall he has 15 points (8G / 7A) in 50 games between those teams.

Arcobello has register two assists in 10 games since going to Pittsburgh. If the 26-year-old is claimed off of waivers, it would be his fourth team in just over five months.

Arcobello, who was originally traded to Nashville from Edmonton for Derek Roy, was placed on waivers yesterday and claimed by Pittsburgh this afternoon. He will join former Oilers teammate David Perron, who was traded to the Penguins in early January. Arcobello has 12 goals and 19 assists (31 points) in 82 career NHL games.

Arcobello has one goal in four games since being acquired from the Oilers. If he clears waivers, he will report to Milwaukee (AHL).

Arcobello will crack the lineup this afternoon for the first time since being traded to the Predators on Monday. Arcobello has seven goals and five assists (12 points) in 36 games.

The Predators had placed Roy on waivers on Sunday and sent him to the minors this afternoon. The Oilers did not want to take on another contract, which is why they sent Arcobello to the Predators instead of just claiming Roy on waivers. Arcobello has 12 points (7G / 5A) in 36 games with the Oilers this season.

Arcobello had actually earned decent playing time but acknowledged that he needs more development earlier this week. As a result, he gets demoted while the Oil call on more defensive help.
