Player Discussion Torrey Mitchell
- Thread starter NoNachoNoParty
- Start date
at least this'll keep DLR/McCarron (assuming he plays in the NHL this year) from 4th line C duties. on top of that Mitchell's a good team guy, good on face-offs (RH), solid defensively and he can chip in offensively once in a while.
i dont mind having him locked up for 3 years if its for 1.25M'ish, we'll see how much his caphit is tho

Nice.
Hopefully he has Galchenyuk signed by the draft and they can look to make some moves to bring in better depth on the wing, as well as open a space at center for Galchenyuk.

...For a guy who turns 31 in January?
3 years is a little long?
Weird.
My guess is the length means the AAV is a little bit lower.
A trade off I'm always happy to take with vet UFA's personally.

Bergevin said himself that GMs like to trade for players with term. A 3 year contract gives Mitchell security and a sense of confidence from management, which imo can affect a guy's play. The fact that he's from here will surely give him that extra boost of pride, and hockey players fuel on that. And from an asset management perspective, makes him more attrayable to other GMs
Anything 2 and under is a solid signing.
Can't understate the importance of a reliable 4th line center in the NHL today.

Not sure I like the 3 years. I would somewhat consider him as a journeyman-type player and the last thing Journeymen need is security

Boo! BOOOO!
sure, whatever. He's a serviceable bottom 6 player, and a local guy too.I don't like committing term to depth guys like Mitchell. They did it with Moen and he fell off the rails fast.

Mitchell is a good player. I honestly don't mind the term as long as the $ figure is right.
We gave Prust 4 years and he was overpaid by almost a full million and he was still a great player for us, all things considered.
Mitchell is a lot better than Moen though... He's a guy that can actually chip in offensively in a 4th line role, and can be relied upon to take important face-offs as well.

I liked Torrey Mitchell. I like him still.
But on principle, I hate the idea of giving 3 years deal to 4th liner.

I like Mitchell as a 4th liner. Having a right handed center is also very important for some key faceoffs.
Wonder for how much $$$ we got him.
