The funny part is quite a few posters loved his game last year and talked about what an excellent bargain signing he was.
True. I was one of those people, and all things considered you can't ask for much better from a fourth-line center.
I won't lose my mind if he's re-signed, but I'd rather he go frustrate another fanbase somewhere. He just refuses to play a simple game, and you should expect that from your role players. Unfortunately, Johnny doesn't believe he's a role player, at least that's not reflected in the game he plays. He was particularly frustrating to watch last night when it just felt like every time he had the puck on his stick it resulted in a turnover.
Maybe I'm just letting popular sentiment cloud my perceptions, but I'd like a little less drama on the bottom six, less Malkin and more McClement. To put it bluntly, I like seeing Cliche out there way more than seeing Mitchell.
