Deadline Passes, Rangers Acquire John Mitchell from Leafs

PrintDon't know the details, that's all I got.
We'll talk about it tonight on Blueshirt Banter Radio at 8 PM
Sounds like its for a 7th round pick.
Update by Nick Montemagno:
In a trade being announced just after the 3 p.m. deadline, TSN reports that the New York Ranger have acquired depth center John Mitchell from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a 2012 seventh-round pick. Mitchell, age 26, has recorded 2 goals and 1 assist in 23 games played with the Leafs this season. As of late, he has been playing in the AHL, though, with the Toronto Marlies.
My guess is that GM Glen Sather maybe would like to have Mitchell as the team's extra forward as opposed to Kris Newbury. As of now, this is the only move the Blueshirts have made on this rather quiet trade deadline day.

3:03 pm — A minor deal comes in after the horn, as the Leafs have sent minor-league center John Mitchell to the Rangers for a seventh-round pick, according to Darren Dreger of TSN. Perhaps the Connecticut Whale need to fill the hole left by Tim Kennedy.

Opens up cap space in case of a Richards deal.

Also makes them eligible for the AHL playoffs, should it come to that.

Ahh, didn’t know that. Does a player just have to be on the AHL roster at a certain point to be eligible? Doesn’t exactly sound kosher if that’s the case, but interesting nonetheless.

I think they are assuming he will resign with them? I’m pretty sure they will have cap space and they are going no where but up.
Given that they gave JJ 4.5m, they might try to give Doughty 10. So cap space may become an issue.

Short-term, no, but if Teubert goes on to be a decent D, and 2 decent draft picks?
I think Edmonton fans are just tired of the perennial ‘rebuidling’ phase they always seem to be in.
Blueshirt Banter, We've got some balls! *It's just pain.*
Yup, that's part of it.
They traded one of their best players for a couple of dice rolls and the King’s 4th or 5th best D prospect. Hard to get excited about that. His money will help re-sign all of H.O.P.E. though.

They are worth more to Edmonton who has lots of holes to fill, then LA he needs the last few pieces. I think it’s a pretty fair deal.

I think they at least should’ve gotten a roster player instead of that 2nd rounder. Loktionov, Martinez, Clifford….something.
They’re burning the ELCs on their guys now, so unless they get NHL-ready guys with those picks, they’re losing out long term.

I was replying to someone who thought the picks were too much for LA to give up.
I don’t think it’s a bad move for Edmonton though, if it all plays out right. Let the kids play, and realize this is “their team”. Secure a second #1 overall pick. Try and add some veteran “character guys” to fill holes over the next season or two. The last part is gonna be the toughest. No one wants to go to Edmonton, but if the kids show enough promise, maybe they can find a few vets willing to get on board.

Not looking at their revenue/attendance numbers, but I could kinda see Edmonton having to sell off a few more young guys coming of ELC’s before they are ready to compete anyway.

Everyone that dealt with Tallon was winner #1.
Kings did well, Handzus-Kopitar-Penner should be a fairly lethal combo. They paid a premium for him, but he’ll help.

I think George Carlin gets a say here:
Personally, when it comes to rights, I think one of two things is true: I think either we have unlimited rights, or we have no rights at all. Personally, I lean toward unlimited rights – I feel, for instance, I have the right to do anything I please. But, if I do something you don’t like, I think you have the right to kill me. So where you gonna find a fairer fucking deal than that? So the next time some asshole says to you, “I have a right to my opinion,” you say, “Oh yeah? Well, I have a right to my opinion, and my opinion is that you have no right to your opinion.”

It was apparent even with Biron that Henrik was going to play most of the games down the stretch. I see the back-up getting a game in if we’ve clinched a playoff spot near the end.

Shitty timing though, Conklin was on waivers a day or two ago, as was McElhinney. EIther could’ve filled the role adequately.

GOOD NEWS

Sather says he doesn’t think Chris Drury (knee) will return this season.

I couldn’t be more surprised if Scarlet Johansen showed up and let me motorboat her.

Maybe Drury will never return

John Mitchell
Wasn’t he the Attorney General under Nixon and married to loose cannon Martha? Must be too long in the tooth to play many minutes. Actually, glad that Sather didn’t trade away the farm to get Brad Richards. Rotten luck that Marty Biron has a broken collarbone. He has been a great backup to the King.
well im happy we didnt make any big trades..
im mad that biron is out for season.. how many games we got left? id say backup plays 1 or 2 max, maybe against west coast teams
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
Boring!
Call me crazy, but I kinda miss the bad old days when we’d go out and rent a former all-star only to watch them suck in the Blueshirt. You know its a boring trade deadline day when we are talking about blow-up dolls in goal and Drury. John Mitchell…uh, yeah…this will be the highlight of his career.
Is he good ? Are we gonna play him against buffalo ?

Reddden & Drury Retire and become Rangers Coaches
How about if Redden and Drury retire (voiding their contracts) but are given assistant coaches jobs in Hartford at the same amount of money they would have made if they continued to play( i use the term play loosely here). They get their money, the Rangers get much needed cap space and only Dolan is out some cash? what da ya think?
