I wouldn't move olofsson for less than a first. Move mittelstadt for whatever, I don't expect a ton of interest for him. Mittelstadt can probably give you 3rd line production without the defensive aptitude or any real physical game. Maybe somebody can use him as a 2nd line winger, but I feel like that team isn't competing for much and isn't overpaying to get him.

Olofsson and Casey need new homes. Maybe in sweeteners. Doubt victor gets us 1st but 2nd

Since this would be next years TDL and both Casey and Victor would be on the final months of their contracts.
It would be hard for me to believe that a playoff team who needs a LHF would not give up a first for Olofsson as it would be later in the round.
Casey on the other hand does not score enough to be a 2nd line center and does not play a physical game to be a third line center.
Some team may take a chance on him, a second would be his ceiling.
