Speculation: Ian Mitchell

[ClydeLee]

Only thing I've got in common with Strome is that most of this board wants me traded

So you'll become the boxcar to strome then?

Nah, I'm a Hawks fan first and foremost.

Love for Hawks > love for Strome

 

[Putt Pirate]

Musto is kinda like that super fan of Brandon Manning that used to hang on this board.

 

[Drumman44]

Officially official. Musto was right... didn't sign until the next week

can't wait to see a D next year with both Boqvist and Mitchell on the roster.

Seems they got the wiggle room he wanted to likely get the elc to start if the season or playoffs play in happen down the line.

Hmm I just don't know, still have this feeling he probably won't sign...

Welcome Mr. Mitchell!!! Long, long, long awaited.

Be honest, how long have you had this in the can ready to post?

Yesssssss

 

[clydesdale line]

Mitchell inked and Gar Forman fired... man what a hell of a day already.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Good to see Mitchell sign. As if there was ever any doubt...

So is Murphy now our third-pairing RHD? If so, he’s probably among the better, if not the best, third pairing in the league

Seabrook is gonna take all his minutes away now

It will not be your typical D pairings if you ask me. Murphy will be used in a shutdown role (ideally with de Haan) then Keith Boqvist and Maatta Mitchell being used in more offensive roles. Maatta plays well with PMD who skate well and Mitchell is just that. This will allow Keith Boqvist to be used in a pure offensive role (laugh all you want but Keith still has offensive ability) that can take chances and still have the skating to recover.

Now that he's in the fold, what are we really looking at with Mitchell? Legit top pairing guy or is this pie-in-the-sky prospect hype?

Not true. You are both Canadian.
