I didn't hear that he was injured but it could be that or maybe a personal issue? I tend to think it's the latter since they haven't spoken about it (respecting privacy and all that).

But more importantly, welcome back, Mitts! You just need to get back to nearly a point-per-game production because a lot of us had you tagged as the team's points leader at the end of the season and you have some catching up to do. And... well, we need the offense, puck possession, and transitions you can provide. 2 Quote

UPL has certainly warranted a call up as of late. I know for the sake of development, they probably won’t do it long term. I see no issue giving him a game or two if Toker needs a week or two off. 1 Quote
nfreeman Posted December 1, 2021 Report Posted December 1, 2021 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. Quote

YMMV, of course. Tage has been a shocking turnaround, to me anyway. So, I had already written Mitts off as well, so I feel as if we are almost playing with house money. It would be an improbable, but terrific catalyst to the rebuild if you end up with a 2C and 3C with those two fellas. More fun to hope so I'm going with that. 3 Quote

It's interesting that in his extended absence a lot (most?) posters seem to be sliding back towards their established perceptions of Mittelstadt — good or bad — as if last April never happened. Me too. Personally, I think what we saw late last year is what I expected him to turn into and who he is. The injury may be a factor early. Edited December 1, 2021 by dudacek 2 Quote

YMMV, of course. Totally agree. Like Tage, this is a prove it year for Mitts. He’s shown glimpses, but he hasn’t proved much at the NHL level and the first couple years were pretty bad. Thus, should not be looked at as a “savior” to reach team mediocrity. I’m just looking for contribution and continued improvement. Quote
