The big hockey news out of Toronto this morning is that the Maple Leafs have decided to waive veteran center Mark Arcobello. For many reasons, I don't think he'll make it through the waiver wire - he's got several qualities which National Hockey League clubs seem to value.
And I think the Calgary Flames should claim him.
Mark Arcobello is several things. He's 27. He's inexpensive, with a $1.1 million cap hit. He's right-handed. He's a center. And while he doesn't generate a ton of points, he's a rock-solid 200-foot player that helps keep the puck out of his end.
