Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Talk | The Slow Crawl to the Season

Colton is bad too though...and Mitts KNOWS he's bad so it's not like he's going to learn a lesson if you sit him.

He needs someone to help him and I honestly don't think Bednar is that guy. Like I said in the previous post, telling Mitts to work harder isn't gonna lead anywhere. Speed and hard work is not part his game.

I don't think Mitts knows he's bad. In fact, I'm starting to believe that similar to a lot of people at the time of the trade, he thinks he's better than he is.

He's been struggling for a long time now, and yet he continues to spend every game making fancy hope plays, that just result in 4-5 bad turnovers every night. If he knew he was playing bad, he'd simplify.

I haven't really criticized him much at all, I've been saying he's very inconsistent, and will hopefully break out of his slump soon, but it's been going on too long now. It's getting to the point where I'm wondering if this is a slump or just who he is.

He needs to just play hockey. Quit overthinking everything and trying to impress everyone. He may not be as good as he and others think, but he's still capable of playing better, if he gets his head screwed on straight. The team needs him to do that.

The question is can he do that outside another contract year? Even the last contact year he was only a 60 point guy tied for 118th in pts/gm. This is why everyone should have thought it possible that his contract year might have been his peak, rather than the valley.

He was demoted to the third line. His scoring has dropped. He’d have to be incredibly oblivious to be unaware that things haven’t been going well.
