The New York Islanders have officially re-signed defenseman Travis Mitchell, per PuckPedia, bringing back the 25-year-old on a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 in the NHL and $100,000 in the AHL, with a guaranteed minimum of $125,000. The deal ensures that Mitchell will remain a key figure on the Bridgeport blue line under new head coach Rocky Thompson.
Mitchell joined the Islanders organization in 2023 as an undrafted NCAA free agent after a solid four-year collegiate career at Cornell University. The 6'3", 200-pound blueliner finished his final season with the Big Red in March 2023, capping off a 95-game NCAA run with 11 goals, 36 assists, and 47 points.
