It's been discussed on many occasions, but it was confirmed today that the Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstatd had been placed on the trade block. The 25-year-old centerman and Fromer eight overall pick finally broke out last year and his current pace doesn't indicate that he'll be slowing down anytime soon.
With 42 points in 50 games and a deal putting him as a restricted free agent by the end of this season, he could be an extremely valuable asset to a team looking to add depth and talent ahead of the playoffs.
Known to be an extremely versatile player, there could be lots of difference possible scenarios for the American. At the moment no official reports have linked Mittelstadt to the Canucks, a fan trade proposal did spark some conversations.
According to him, the Canucks should offer (D-Pettey) Elias Pettersson, Nils Hoglander and a pick (nothing more than a third) for the Sabres' forward. Who says no?
