That’s something Colorado wouldn’t consider lol I agree, but if I am Karmanos, that is what I would want, an over payment. Unlikely any team would give up a second for him.

I don’t like the comp either way. All I’m saying is Middlestadt is better than what he’s shown so far lol

I’d def trade for him if the price is right tho. I feel like the injuries have been a huge issue for him as well as his linemates. Also young centers sometimes take time. I’m saying he may be able to be an average 2C. That’s it.
I agree with everything you posted.
You have more faith in Mittelstadt then many Sabre ACGM's.
Right now it would be hard to expect expect any team to give even a second, that is why I would not trade him.
Playing with Thompson and Asplund over the final 22 games of the 2020-'21 season he put up 9 goals and 17 pts.
Combine that with his injury prone 2021-'22 season 40 games 6 goals and 19 pts he has 15 goals and 36 pts over his last 62 games.
Project that over 82 games and he could produce 20 goals 48 pts, I would expect more playing with Lehkonen and Rantanen.
Krueger buried his career, Granato resurrected him.
