Thread: Mittlstedt trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Herdle</b></div><div>How is the odds on Vezina winner a discounted return for an unproven 24 year old center with one solid season under his belt.</div></div>

Because BUF and KA really, really like this certain "unproven" center, who put up 34 points in his past 41 games. That's the same amount as Eichel.

He's not unproven anymore, not in BUF's eyes. He can play wing and center. He can play 1C, 2C, 3C and LW on any of the top 3 lines. And he only has a $2.5 cap hit and then still an RFA. He's one of the best value non-ELC contracts in the league.

A Mitts &lt;&gt; Ullmark trade straight-up gives me pause.

Plus, Ullmark wanted out of BUF. So, why take him back? Don't get me wrong, I was and am a huge Ullmark fan. KA letting him leave was by far his biggest blunder, but you can't force someone to sign on the dotted line. Ullmark wanted to leave. He left. A trade back to BUF is doubtful, according to the magic 8-ball.
