Ian Mitchell

Can we get this back to a Ian Mitchell thread.

There's not much more to say until he plays for Hawks.

Maybe. No reason to keep rehashing crap about other players in a Ian Mitchell thread. That's all.

The physics discussion was the best part of this thread, tbh.

That's what happens when the team has 14 days off in mid-season.

Agreed. F'in hate it. I cannot wait to watch them tomorrow. It's a joke to have this big of a break in the season.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

It's been a problem in all of the player discussion threads....everything goes back to the Nylander/Joki trade.
Like I said, I'd have rather kept Joki, traded the 2nd/3rd for Nylander and never acquired Shaw.

It's water under the bridge now, let's just hope that Shaw can get back on the ice and Nylander explodes in the stretch run.

 

[Blackhawks]

Gotta disagree with Nylander vs Kahun part. Kahun was not going to make this team much longer because he couldn't score. Nyles is still a project. Colliton needs to keep being patient and make sure he gets coached, IMO.

I hope you are right, I am patient but it doesn’t look like he is improving, usually young guys show something that makes you think ok he’s on the right path. Dach for instance even tho he only had one point in 28 games you could see the flashes of brilliance here and there and the effort is there he works his butt off. I don’t know I don’t see the same with Nylander.

Love reading the optimistic write ups on Mitchell. 75% percent of Makar sounds good.

I think that would be disappointing. We’d be looking at a number 3-4 at that point.

It would still be one of the best defenseman this franchise has developed in the last decade. Boqvist is already the best, Joki is the second best. There’s nobody else (there may be, but I want to be a bit hyperbolic)

Gus

Gus

Do they get credit for developing him? I guess I was thinking from drafting, developing as a teen, and progressing them to the NHL

I feel like they more so put an already developed Gus in a position to play to his strengths

Yes

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Yes

okay, add him to the list I guess. He had one good year then fell back and will soon walk for nothing.

If Mitchell develops even into a good 3 or 4, that’s still a bigger success than Gus’ flash

 

[ClydeLee]

Gus became what he is after several seasons in Rockford. That is certainly the Hawks development and according to him JC had some to do with that.

Ya, I’ll concede Gus under that definition. Hawks are about to blow that development for nothing though, but that’s a separate discussion.

I’m hoping he can be a 50+ point player with good defense. I wish they had a few more high end prospects on defense. They still need someone to pan out as a No. 1. Maybe Mitchell will keep progressing and become that player.

Boqvist?

 

[ColdSteel2]

Boqvist?

Yeah, he and Mitchell are the two players that seem to have that upside. Still would like to see 1 or 2 more similar caliber prospects as nothing is guaranteed. And if they don’t end up developing a No. 1, the next best thing would be to have as strong of a 6 man unit as possible.

I would be happy to see them take a defender with the 1st. Someone that shoots left handed with upside. Wallinder is intriguing.

Hawks final game is April 4th. Frozen 4 is April 11th.

regionals are late March. If Denver loses before the frozen 4 we can get a Mitchell trial and potential playoff player. Not unprecedented.

I don't know, it seems to me that Bo has made great strides in his game in quite a short time. Hopefully, that progress continues.
