Trades

CBJ

Mittelstadt, Casey

Additional Details:

Mitts isn’t ideal center for Gaudreau and Laine but IMO he’s better than what they have.

I think this depends heavily on what Buffalos front office thinks of Mitts. Is he really as good as he was to end last season, or was that just a hot streak and he’s really just another middling middle 6 guy?

BUF

Peeke, Andrew
2023 1st round pick (LAK)

Additional Details:

BUF gets that young, defensive RHD they need. He’s been up and down but IMO he’s the type that NHL GMs would love to have. Since Mitts has shown more, Buffalo also gets a first which I’m projecting to be around 20-24. Buffalo only does this is they bring someone else in or expect both Kulich and Savoie to make the roster

This is a recipe for disaster…. And when it ultimately fails, Jarmo should be fired for making some of these moves.

Honestly have Columbus fans not learned anything from the last 4 seasons and the amount of injuries the team has had.

Mittelstadt showed that he’s gonna be a core piece, unlikely he is traded.

The Sabres are definitely not trading him for a worse player and a pick. The Sabres time for accumulating picks is over, they need elite players.

This is a interesting offer, think everyone would consider Mitts pulling in a RD and a 1st not bad. Was this just a bad year for Peeke, a -41 is bad. But Columbus wasn't exactly good. Mitts could become a core piece for the Sabres but at what price and that 1st could land a very good D prospect in this draft. Which the Sabres need. Sabres have a lot of good forward prospects coming. Intriguing I don't know if the Sabres would do it.

I like Mitts for Jiricek. Not above offer. Sabres might do that but huge Mitts fan now
