The New York Rangers have re-signed John Mitchell. Mitchell posted seven goals and 12 points in 14 games with the Connecticut Whale after being acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs for a seventh round draft pick in 2012 at the trade deadline last season. He recorded three goals and six points in six playoff contests for the Whale as well to earn the extension. Mitchell will likely spend the majority of the 2011-12 campaign in the minors.
