It’s unfortunate that Mittelstadt hasn’t showed any value really since coming to Boston. Your best bet in moving on from him return wise is to get him on track next season. That said, I really wish we could offload him this summer. When originally planning to trade Coyle, I think we all assumed we would be clear of that 5.25mil this summer, not adding an extra 500k to it. There are some select teams with money and players on the move or a lack of skill/depth at the position who Mittelstadt could maybe make sense for like Columbus, Chicago, Winnipeg. More so for teams like Chicago/WPG where players don’t exactly get excited to sign up with when in free agency because of location or how good the team is. Can’t say what we’d get for him or if/how much retention, but I don’t think the market is dry per se. I just don’t like moving Zacha unless something really shows up and is an upgrade, because you can’t replace his production for less money or close to it without someone on an ELC, or a turnaround miracle like he himself was, or Geekie.
