It might be a bargaining ploy but i also think he's telling everybody he liked to resign him as well. more than stafford and stewart it would seem

Granted, but that quote isn't exactly "flatly saying he wants to re-sign him"

I'd like to re-sign him. If a team offers a 2nd though I'd ship him off and we could try to bring him back as a free agent.

I like Mitchell in a 4 role who right now can play the 3 role until the kiddos get into action. He can also slide to the wing and bring that checking energy and speed. I'd be fine with them retaining his rights. As was mentioned, of their three UFA-to-be forwards, he's likely the least valuable (say a 4th for his ilk of player). It isn't manditory for them to ship someone for a pick who has an miniscule chance of ever making the show.

Eh he's OK I guess. I wouldn't hate it if he wasn't here next year.

Interesting, I see him as (right now) the most desirable of the UFAs for a playoff team to acquire. That doesn't necessarily make him the most valuable but if I'm shopping the Sabres, I'd feel more comfortable about Mitchell contributing positively during a playoff run than Stafford or Stewart. But I digress....

I like him, always did going back to San Jose so I have no problem giving him a 2-3 year contract with a nice little salary bump. Ideally he's in the bottom six but I have problems with his play this year with more minutes (of course if you're in the top 6 of this team you're really in a bottom six on an actual team). If they can get something meaningful for him great but I can live if he's not traded and either resigns or goes to UFA.

Trade him for what you can get him for. Look into re-signing him next year if needed.

Oh, I expect someone looking for Hannan-lite to bolster their 4th line or Black Aces would be interested. But in terms of actual return... guys like him don't seem to merit the sort of draft pick return

Another benefit of Mitchell is the fact he has 60 playoff games in his career. Having that kind of playoff experience on your 4th line can do wonders when our youngsters take us to the post season. They'll need someone to look to when the games get intense, even if it's to a guy who is one of the worst players in the lineup .

 

[TyMy57]

package him with a pick for a decent prospect.

You're right. I thought he'd said something far more definitive, but at most he's implying interest.

I'm looking forward to they day where we are lighting cigars with pegulabucks after a long and fingers crossed successful playoff run and not having to have a two page discussion about how we should handle the pending UFA status of Torrey Mitchell.

Would that this hoodie were a time hoodie.

When the team is rolling, this would be a five-seven page thread already due to participation.
