Panthers' Mitchell tweets 'WTF' after Gudbranson-McCann trade

Willie Mitchell's feelings about Wednesday night's trade can be summed up with an emoji and a three-letter acronym.

The Florida Panthers captain was likely reacting to the fact that teammate Erik Gudbranson was dealt to the Vancouver Canucks for Jared McCann.

Despite Mitchell's frustration, he can be somewhat placated in knowing the Panthers landed one of the Canucks' top prospects as well as a second- and fourth-round pick in next month's draft. The only pick Florida surrendered was a fifth-rounder.

Twenty-two-year-old Panthers defenseman Michael Matheson will likely get more playing time next season in Gudbranson's absence, whether Mitchell can bare to look or not.
