If Schmid is the legit starter, maaaaybe the Devils do this if they think they can bring in another goalie that better situates the team or they trust more for the playoffs?

I don’t think the Hawks are at the point in their rebuild that they should be trading away picks.

I think Buffalo has been very patient with Mittelstadt which makes it unlikely to me that they would trade him after just having a breakthrough season.

As has been stated many times recently, the Hawks don’t need another goalie.

I'm not a big fan of either from the Hawks perspective. Just trying to be honest.

Devils goalie depth is looking quite thin right now. We have Schmid; Daws, who is coming off major injury; Kallgren, who is just AHL depth, and rest are juniors/reserves. So we would have to be adding at least two goalies if we shed Vanecek.

Sabres don’t do that for roughly pick 50.

Mittelstadt would be a great pick up for that price though

Vanecek was acquired for more than that and then had a career year. He won't be this cheap.

I agree with @exo2769. Not a fan of either trade. Mitts had a breakout year last season, but he's not an NHL 2C. He's bad at the dot, not good defensively, and I'm guessing his skating isn't up to Davidson's standards. As for Vanacek, Hawks can grab a vet G as a UFA and save that pick. Based on responses from Devils fans, he costs more than a 3rd anyway, so pass on him for sure.

Yeah, Vanacek cost a 2nd when we acquired him and showed himself as an average/above average goalie. His price has either stayed or gone up, not down
