Thread: Bruins and Sabres fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WCSF</b></div><div>Sabre fan here. Mittelstadt has been an unfairly maligned player in Buffalo. He was rushed to the NHL. Had he spent a 2nd year in college and then a full year in the AHL and been slowly integrating into the NHL this year, Sabre fans would be over the moon with excitement. As is, there is tempered enthusiasm regarding his play in 5 games this season; he has looked engaged, quick, capable defensively and has flashed dynamic offensive skill.

I think he is a very difficult player to gauge for trade value. His ceiling in my view remains very high. For what it's worth, my ceiling for him is Jake Guentzel and I think Mittelstadt ultimately ends up being a winger with either Eichel or Cozens and he produces strong offensive production in that role. Based on that, the only way I would trade Mittelstadt would be as part of a package for an established near-star-level player (ie: Mittelstadt++ for established #2 centre or established #1 goalie).

Of course, the Sabres may see him as a player who will be exposed in the expansion draft and be happy to just get something for him.</div></div>

That's what i'm saying these 2 players are extremely hard to judge, because usually if a first round draft pick is not an every game player by their 5th year they are a bust. but I like fredric's toughness. and I think Mittelstadt has a case of the buffalo blues.
