<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Funksoljah</b></div><div>Can't see Buffalo selling that low on Mittelstadt either. He gets grossly undervalued by many on here because it took him some time to find his game. $2.5m for another year then an RFA for a 60 point versatile forward that can play center or wing would be a valuable piece for most other teams. If he had his breakout at 22 instead of 24 the narrative around him would likely be much different, but as it stands Buffalo is better off keeping him considering what Granato has been able to get out of most of that young forward group. Played most of the season with an offensive black hole in Jost, and Olofsson who gave effort when he felt like it, was over a point/game when he filled in for Tage on the top line.</div></div>

Yes, I think its not so much selling low, as Mittelstadt on that roster is probably the 3rd line center at best, with Krebs probably able to take his spot quite easily. He had a good year, but hes probably not going to elevate his game much further in limited minutes, and BUF has the depth and quite a few prospects on the way as well. With Thompson, Cozens AND Krebs, thats 3 quality centers and BUF would be open to dealing from depth to address a weakness.

(Although retaining and slightly overpaying Zegmus and Okposo 4.5mil for 4th line minutes on a team full of forwards and forward prospects, shows a reluctance to move on, for Buffalo)
