@Kevin Musto we can weep together, my friend. I am here for you.

Bad break but he should get plenty of time this year

If he’s not passed over by the 10 other guys with similar ceilings in these six weeks.

Just don’t think the hawks are going to rush the other young guys. But this will help Regula and to a lesser extent Beaudin and Galvas get a opportunity to play game in and out.
Maybe the hawks end up claiming a guy off waivers for a press box body or convert Adam Clandening to a contract.

Stillman/Seth
Caleb/Murphy
Jack Johnson/Regula
Beaudin

Vlasic, Phillips, Galvas, and Regula are all presumably options to play in Chicago. Mitchell was always going to have to fight with those guys in camp to have a chance.

Unless they all fail before he comes back, it’s tough to see why he’d jump ahead of them.

Don’t think he’s ahead of them just don’t think they will rush Vlasic/Phillips. To me Regula and Galvas was always his competition for a spot.

Fair enough. So he still has two guys he needed to beat out, and now he won’t. He has to hope they blow their chances, unless he’s coming back significantly better than he was.

This might be the nail in the coffin for Mitchell as a Blackhawk. You'd have to imagine he's going to start the year in Rockford now -- though I'm not sure on his waiver status. If he does and he doesn't get an opportunity soon thereafter, I think he'll ask for a trade.

Which is a shame, bc I thought he was poised to win a spot this year.

Gotta be worried about Murph. He has a bad back and concussion issues.

Guy hasn’t played 60 games in 5 years. I wouldn’t expect him to keep healthy enough to hit that many games anymore. Especially the way he tries to play.

Rough start to your make or break season.

He was off for personal reasons, one of his billet parents passed away so I do not think he is injured

Kevin Korchinski will dress for less than 9 to start the year...

Why would they play him in the nhl when Davidson has made the point, over and over, that the past regime rushed young players?

Zero is technically less than nine.

Anybody who thinks Ian Mitchell is going to be an NHLer, I want what they are smoking.

I don't think that counts as rushing a player.

It's giving them a handful of games with the intent of sending them back to juniors.

Rushing would be committing them to the NHL, past the 9 games.

Just a taste...

Brandon Saad played a handful of games...
same with Jeremy Roenick...and then back to junior

Korchinski is more likely to do that still next season

No reason to. Let him develop in Seattle

More exposure for Vlasic and Regula.....nothing wrong with that.....Mitchell is more offense inclined and the Hawks could use that on the 2nd paring, IMO.....

Zawaski: “As we were hanging around practice yesterday talking to some people around the team saying that they really at this point don’t even see Ian Mitchell as an NHL player. Based on his lack of speed, lack of really being great offensively. He’s not good enough defensively to… I guess the point would be if you’re not going to come up and be a 50-point offensive defenseman, you can’t be as bad defensively as Mitchell is. So we’ll see. Maybe he didn’t have the realistic chance we thought he did based on a few conversations yesterday.”

@7:25 mark.
