The minute the Colorado Avalanche decided to waive John Mitchell on November 4 trades became a reality in Avs territory.
That was nearly a week ago, so perhaps this article is a bit overdue, but I needed time to organize my thoughts on the matter.
Why Was John Mitchell Placed on Waivers?
My thoughts on the matter might be better expressed in the form of questions; questions you might consider asking yourself as you move through this article with me:
- Why would the Colorado Avalanche waive John Mitchell instead of say Rene Bourque?
- Why would the Avs waive a player that only played four games with the team this season before being waived?
