The entire point is it's not my opinion though. It's facts and evidence. Namely, the facts that represent which players excel at puck possession and the evidence that puck possession is the single most important aspect of even strength hockey that's within teams' and players' control. I agree with you that Mitchell isn't very good but if I could only get rid of two forwards on the Sharks I'd get rid of the ones that are the worst at driving possession and those, both at the moment and based on their entire careers' body of work, are McGinn and Handzus.
