Quoting: LaTornade
From the part of the Avalanche fanbase that understands that we don’t have what you’re looking for (and that we can’t extend him anyways), we are sorry. Just filter through and move on.

Sabre fans think Casey is untouchable or unless a top pairing 23 yo RHD is part the return.
This offer is weak, but Sabre ACGM's rejected this https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/797810?post_id=4665438

Thinking Mittelstadt is untouchable is a little bit weird. I agree with you on that. The thing here is that the Avs and the Sabres are no good fit atm. COL doesn’t have the pieces you guys most likely would want in a trade involving Mittelstadt. Which probably would mean that COL would have to overpay. And sure that could have been an option if there was any resonable way of extending him, but there really isn’t. Not without making really big changes in the roster. But sure, i agree with the point you’re making.
It’s not that Sabres fans think he’s untouchable
We just realize that we are extremely unlikely to trade him
Mitts will most likely be signed long term,
and we aren’t looking to move him AT ALL
So for us to actually do that- in REAL LIFE- it would likely have to be for a deal we couldn’t say no to, or for a player we really need, like a top pair RD
Trading Mitts for draft picks & prospects just doesn’t make ANY SENSE at all- our prospect pool is already stacked, and we’re trying to win sooner than later at this point
