What does Mittelstadt do for the Canes? He plays in the bottom 6 for the Canes, why a first?

Carolina for sure isn't going to do that (can't wait to hear from a few of their fans) and neither is toronto

Buffalo should avoid moving Savoie for really anything right now

Murphy trade is fine, would prefer someone else though

CAR and TOR trades are both a no from both sides probably

If the canes were intrested in mittelstadt (which they probably aren't), they could get him without giving up a 1st.

Maybe
But idk that the Sabres would trade him
We certainly won’t “sell low”
He’s having a good season- on pace for about 50pts, while playing on the 3rd line

That's probably the bare minimum the Hawks take in a Murphy trade. Could definitely see them holding out for a better prospect like Bloom or Nadeau. All depends on how Davidson rates the Sabres F prospects

And there you have it. From a Buffalo fan, no doubt. We've heard it all. Thank you anyway. Let's just put a pin in the Middlestadt conversation. Not handing over a 1st.

Kotkaniemi has also shown to be one of the most dominant two way centers in the NHL this season. His analytics are unreal. His isolated numbers are among the best in the NHL. Mittelstadt probably doesn't even make the Canes lineup.

Laughable
Mitts is on pace for about 50pts, playing on our 3rd line
U guys could use the scoring

In Carolina, he's not breaking up the Staal line, that has been one of the most dominant in the NHL so that's not happening. He's not beating out Svechnikov, Necas, Kotkaniemi, Jarvis, Aho, or Teravainen for a top six role. So that's not happening. So what's he coming in for? Noesen? Noesen is on an equally good scoring pace to Mitts. So no. Stastny? That's a dude that can play top six, is a multiple time 20 goal scorer, and proves more offense to the lineup than Mitts would. So no. Stepan? Maybe. But then Kase's going to be back from injury soon, and he's a better fit into the lineup than Mitts.

Cry all you want, Mitts likely doesn't make the Canes lineup, and there's no reason to do this sooooooooo...
