Decision time?

In their wide search for defensemen, the Kings have looked at 33-year-old Willie Mitchell, whose season (with Vancouver) was ended in January because of a concussion. Mitchell worked out for the Kings last week and, according to Sportsnet, is being pursued by a handful of other teams and might make his decision “by the end of the week.” Mitchell, a left shot, had four goals and eight assists in 48 games last season and has totaled 586 NHL games since his debut in 1999-2000.
