‘“Mitchell’s bringing energy,” Nolan said. “Every time he goes out, he goes out with a purpose and he’s competing hard. He’s skating. He’s doing everything we ask of him. … Can you imagine Zadorov working as hard as Mitchell with the skill set that he has? Those are definitely qualities we’re looking for. If skill doesn’t work, there’s no sense having it. Certain guys are blessed with certain talents and if they don’t bring what they can bring, they’re cheating themselves. But a guy like Mitchell, he’s limited on his skill set, but he’s not limited on his determination, and put in the right situations he’s as good as anyone.”’
