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.
