I mean what is the value of Mittelstadt. They sent him to the AHL this year. Honestly, I don't know what to make of him. Did they just screw up his development, or is he a bust?
Miller is ok, but the penguins don't have the luxury of paying another defenseman almost 4 million per. They have to pay marino next year and that's got to be hanging over the whol convo on bringing in expensive defensemen especially guys who will be 3rd pairing. It's not worth the trouble and next year we'd be looking to dump him most likely.
So what I see is a 2nd. I don't do this if I'm the penguins.
