This is the sort of free agent signing our team needs. A (soon to be) two-time Stanley Cup champion, warrior, stay at home physical D with some decent puck skills, excellent leadership, and someone who overcomes the adversity in front of him like clockwork.
I'd rather have that on our blue line than Butler, but that's just me.

Yeah, Mitchell would be a great addition and the Kings might have trouble paying him what he wants. Overpay him for a 2 year deal. $5 million/yr. He should be a great mentor to the younger defensemen (Wotherspoon).
