As others have alluded to, his string of concussion issues made him expendable. At the time IIRC, there was some discussion on who to keep between he and Bieksa as both I think were up for renewal. Mitchell lost out because of injury.
I've always thought he was a solid player and a good leader type even in his Canuck days.
He will definitely be a positive leader in FLA.
