Really hated to give up picks but Harding is a stud and Mitchell is a gamer, even if he's just a 3rd liner.

wut?

[Nick]

hanson too... despite not being signed, he's RFA and burke mentions him in almost every interview.

[Lee]

Epic fail if Kadri is in the NHL next year. I'll eat my words if he puts up 50 points, but other than that he isn't ready. Mitchell had 23 points last year and 29 the year before in more games. Mitchell is more suited for 3rd line duties while Hanson is suited for 4th.

[Nick]

Mitchell is not more suited to the NHL at all compared to Hanson, Christian is smart and extremely safe with his puck positioning and his own positioning. Remember Burke's 3rd line doesn't focus on point production.


Also -> Why is Kadri not ready for the NHL? Referencing Bobby Ryan? He's more the exception then the rule.

Too many questions... Harding is almost ready to be an NHL starting goalie. If any one of those other goalies pans out and can give me my 21 games to add to Harding's 20 ... It works for me. Harding can be a free agent and go grab a starting role next summer. Larsson/Couturier is my goal this year.

Considering Harding is still a backup, that's quite the price.

I was offering a lot more for another certain young goalie but the other person wouldn't budge
