Flaws:
Is significantly below NHL standards in terms of his size (5-9, 165 pounds) and strength, so he faces a constant uphill battle to prove himself at the highest level.
Career Potential:

News
Mark Arcobello participated in his first NHL game on Wednesday.
Edmonton Journal
Impact
Arcobello logged 18:15 minutes of ice time because centers Shawn Horcoff, Eric Belanger, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins were all sidelined going into the game and another yet another center, Anton Lander, sustained an injury in the first period. With so many Oilers players on the sidelines, Arcobello has some short-term fantasy value.

News
Mark Arcobello skated between Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle on Wednesday morning.
Edmonton Journal
Impact
He is slated to start Wednesday night's contest there in the place of injured forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. The Oilers already had middlemen Shawn Horcoff and Eric Belanger sidelined with injuries which resulted in Arcobello's callup, but with RNH out he'll get the chance to center the team's top line. He has experience playing with Hall and Eberle already, as he played with them in the AHL during the lockout while Nugent-Hopkins was in Russia with Team Canada for the World Junior Championship.
