Confirmed with Link: [BUF/MTL] Torrey Mitchell for Jack Nevins, 2016 7th

[VaporTrail]

Hey! Don't dismiss Nolan's current 2nd line center Foligno quite so fast!

Our center depth under Nolan is now sitting at-

Foligno (promoted up a line)
Larsson
Varone
Ellis

Hodgson never had a hope.

I want Ellis on the top line !!!

I predicted Torrey for Riley Boychuk, I think I won that prediction

There might be an argument that Murray knows he wants Mitchell back in the summer. I think he's a great fourth line guy. So he sends him off for less of a return where he wants to go.

Breeding good will is never a bad idea. If that's what we actually got from this trade, maybe it's worth it. Let's see this summer.

Well, I guess "pick and prospect" is technically true, though I still think whoever broke that return first is really stretching the spirit of what that means....

 

[TennisMenace]

Nevins is equally as bad.

Good fighter though.

Yep. I think there's a very strong chance we see Mitchell back here next season to help with the young center babysitting duties for a year or two.

Kinda crazy how he played on 6 different Jr teams, and played in both the OHL and QMJHL

I agree....i think he asked Mitchell which team he wanted to go to knowing he wasnt going to get anything of significance for him.

I will not complain even one slight bit if they find a way to bring back Mitchell. He's fantastic.

i stated in the prediction thread that the return on mitchell would be a "pleasant surprise"

that was a series of typos

Oh it's Nevins, I love this deal now! I think he should take Mitchell's spot in the top 6, could provide an offensive punch.

Sure he could provide an offensive punch. If that punch is punching your own team in the nuts.

Nevins is signed for one more season after this year, with a $645k cap hit (note that he has bonuses in his contract as well). A two-way contract, of course, as it is an ELC. His waiver exemption expires following the 2015-2016 season.

Don't think you have to ever worry about that with Nevins. He stinks to high hell. Bad skater, useful for next to nothing. Hits and looks to start a fight every shift.

You didn't say who it'd be a pleasant surprise for.

That sounds like exactly the kind of offensive punch we're looking for
