I don’t like that Mittlestadt trade for either team tbh. I think Mittlestadt fizzles out with the yotes and crouse gets buried in buffalo. No way crouse plays on that second line ahead of JJP that dudes a slick player

Think Mitts needs a change of scenery. Actually been playing really well the last month or so. Could fit in with some of your young players. And Crouse would look nice on either Cozens or Krebs Wing. He would give Savoie Rosen Ostlund a few more years to grow.

Since the beginning of the new year Cozens line has been playing 4th line minutes. JJ has like 2 pts in the last 12 games. Like I said Crouse could be interchangeable with Krebs. But JJ wouldn't hurt from dropping down a line for now.

I'd swap mittelstadt for Crouse all in a heartbeat. Crouse would look good on a wing with olofsson and either Krebs or jost. It's a dynamic we are missing.

I acknowledge that cozens line has been quiet, it's likely that adams and granato are gonna let that line grow together. That third line looks a lot more solid with a guy like Crouse on the wing, and a guy like jost at center- unless Krebs can take it from him.

While I think Karmanos will resist making any moves at the TDL, Lawson is signed for the next 4 years at a reasonable contract.
if Buffalo could get Crouse for Mittelstadt and a second, they should do it.

While Peterka's scoring is down, his effort is not, he will rediscover his scoring touch soon.
Crouse could be the catalyst to drive Olofsson to even higher production, similar to what Tuch has done with Tage and Jeff.

I think Nadeau's size and power-forward style is something to hold onto......what made you let go of Bloom as the proposed prospect with a 2nd rounder that you had pitched in so many prior posts?

I didn't want to use Nadeau, he's one of my favorite prospects coming up, but Bloom dropped in are prospect rankings. So I don't think Bloom does it anymore
