Description

From https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/574494 .

This is a very interesting trade, all things considered. Mittlestadt is just entering his prime at the age of 23, and has been about a 0.5PPG player the past two years, whereas the 24 year old Bear has been in and out of Carolina's top-4 when healthy and is also just entering his prime. I think Carolina's defensive group loses more than the forward group gains, and I personally would decline from Carolina's side for that reason, but I would not be upset if this trade were to happen.

Taxi squad are players that could make the team if they perform really well in camp

Makes sense for both teams.

Makes sense for both teams.

Value wise, yes, it makes sense for both teams. However, Bear can be utilized on the top pairing, but can Mittelstadt be utilized on the top line? I don’t think Mittelstadt can be utilized on the the top line. Bear started out on the top pairing with Slavin, and then DeAngelo was placed with Slavin, with DeAngelo excelling. When DeAngelo was injured, the first person to be put on the top pair was Bear. Mittelstadt I think has only been utilized in the bottom 6 over the course of his career, and there are cheaper and better options elsewhere. I do think Carolina declines though, as they have enough C in the pipeline, and Drury is likely to get the first crack at the lineup before Mittelstadt, so Mittelstadt would have to learn to play the wing.

Another reason I think Carolina declines, there could potentially be a bidding war in the off-season for Bear. If there is, they could end up getting more than what is on offer here. I’m not sayi be Mittelstadt is bad or anything, but I don’t think he would really fit in Carolina’s system, and I think Bear could return more.

Bear is expendable in my eyes, especially with the emergence of Chatfield. I would not be surprised if Chatfield ends up with Bear’s spot next year. It depends on how much teams end up offering.

I think Sabres rather keep Mitts and look for a solution at RHD elsewhere.

You can’t compare if a forward can play top line and a defenseman playing top pairing

Mete with MTL played on the 1st pair with Weber
Ended up on waivers

Alzner played on the 1st pair in WSH with Carlsson
Ended up being buyout

You need to compare their play, salary, age, etc. The trade is fair and make sense
