Doohickie Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 2 hours ago, nfreeman said: I'm going to throw some cold water on the expectations for Mitts. He was a major disappointment and looked well on his way to being a washout for his first 2.6 or so NHL seasons, and then showed signs of life in garbage time last year when DG took over. He has good puck skills, and I don't necessarily think he's going to be as useless as he was under Howie and RK, but I also think it's ill-advised to expect him to parachute in and play like a good #1 or #2 NHL center. YMMV, of course. If he can be a decent #3 center to start I'll be happy. I think eventually he'll supplant Tage as our top center guy. It should be wide open next year; may the best C get the job.

PerreaultForever Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I'm in the wait and see camp on Mitts. He's going to have to work hard and show desire to move back up the line up. Not sure he will thrive on a line with Girgs and Asplund. Just not sure what, if anything, that line is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmel Corn Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Hope the equipment manager can set him up with something to protect his wrists and hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabresparaavida Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 1 hour ago, The Ghost of Yuri said: "botts-2C situation"? (I'm not seeing that term in my Sabrespace glossary.) Referring to how JBotts didn’t bring in a capable 2C once Ror was traded, similar to how we don’t have capable goaltending now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
