Description

Allegedly, Ian Mitchell's camp knew that the Jokiharju trade was coming prior to it becoming official. Taking that in account with reports that the Chicago front office is meeting with Mitchell next week makes it seem like the following:

1) The FO views Mitchell as a superior RHD Prospect
2) Since he is still not signed, Stan alleviated some of the logjam on the right side to promise him more playing time, either in Rockford or the big club.
3) They are going to try to convince him to sign next week and turn pro, as opposed to returning to school.

Also, for third line Right Wing, In my mind, Nylander, Saarela, Sikura, and Kurashev are all vying for this roster spot. Whoever performs best will get it.

Nylander at BEST is a 4th liner..maybe he'll improve, but he has no defense and is slow without the puck, no anticipation. But thanks for Joki.

It’ll take a pick or prospect to get rid of that Anisimov contract.

In Colliton's system a 4th liner without defense isn't a fourth liner, sadly.

Like I said, it's going to be a bit of a competition for that spot.

Look what Chicago did for Strome. Got him outta ARI and made his a 2nd line C, not too hard to imagine them doing something similar with Nylander. Not too long ago this kid was a 1st rounder
