Speculation: Ian Mitchell

[Ace Card Bedard]

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?

If he's good enough to be top 6, I'm stoked.

stoke the fires then, Mitchell is most certainly top 4 material not just top 6

I love that KBS is a random Asian woman.

I am an Asian man that is too old to be rocking a backwards hat.

Finally. Thank you very much.

Seriously. They’ve gotta do something about the long wait after clicking the reply button. And soon.

Ya it is absolutely terrible. I will time it.


33.86 seconds as timed on my phone from the time I hit post reply till the time it posted...

I am not an IT genius by any stretch but even I know that is unacceptable from a time perspective...

Never used a site that took so long.

They are more worried about getting more pop ups on your screen.

+1

Not interested in getting banned from another site, so am going to hold back. Needless to say, this platform's performance is poor. Upgrade? What upgrade?

FEATURE: Ian Mitchell Q&A

 

[bwana63]

If we get a compliance buyout, I think Mitchell spends zero time in the A.

All excited about Mitchell and then the week's story on Chiclets was Perunovich signing to the Blues and will be a Makar Neidermayer type. Fuuuuuuuuu

I'd be real happy with that.

He's 5ft9, so there is real serious bust potential there.

And he doesn't really play the style the Blues play, so who knows if he'll ever stick there.

They also have the Faulk contract to deal with, sign Pietrangelo, Dunn, and their other RFAs the next two offseasons, he is going to be squeezed out at that point most likely.

I swear I remember reading somewhere that there is a good chance Pietrangelo ends up elsewhere.

Armstrong should be fired if he lets Pietrangelo walk.

You buyout Steen, trade Bozak and Perron or even Faulk before you cripple the defense like that.

I just can’t understand the logic of letting your number 1 defenseman walk. You want to close your cup contending years real quick, that’s how.

If they think he's another Seabrook waiting to happen, it's the right move. And let's face it, bigger D are more likely to be a Seabrook in their 30s than a Pronger. 3 years from now letting Pietrangelo walk could seem like a genius move.

Would you have been upset if the Hawks let Seabrook walk in 2016 or traded him coming off of a cup in 2015? Of course not, everyone knew that was bad the moment that it was signed. Pietrangelo will be 30 this year so it's not a crazy move. It's more likely than not they got his best years.

Just don't sign players to monster contracts.

Seabrook was 8 years at $6,875,000 per year. If that were 8 years at $4,500,000 we wouldn't be complaining about it all the time.

The current cap hit would even be fine if it were at 6 years instead.

Just don't be irresponsible when handing out contracts.
