george mcphee (president of hockey operations for vgk)'s interview with the nhl wraparound podcast on mitch as a player and how he's performed for the golden knights this season
"I can start with mitch. and it is amazing, I think, what we've been able to do with him, because when we lost [william] karlsson, we got thin at center and we decided to try mitch at center. he hasn't- I don't even know if he played it in junior [he has]. most real good hockey players have played centers as young guys, but he never played center in toronto, I don't think he did in london [he did]. so we tried him at center, and he's been fantastic, and we want to keep him there because he's actually starting to become good on faceoffs. but he is a terrific two way player. and it isn't very often when you can convert a winger to a center. that rarely happens in this league. and he's a number two center in the nhl right now. he's been productive for us, but I love the two way game that this player has. he's so clever and so intelligent defensively, stripping pucks, getting in the way of things. he is- and he's played- he's probably been our most consistent player."
