Player Discussion Casey Mittelstadt (2017, 8th) #37 - Part III

[rams]

Is it just me or do those lines look like 3 thirds and a fourth?

 

[Matt Ress]

Skinner-Mitts-Olofsson
Bjork-Cozens-Thompson
Routs-Asplund-Hino
Girgs-Eakin-Cagg

dahlin jok
Hagg Miller
Butch psysk

I think R2 will be higher up in the lineup. Definitely top 6. Pointzzzz bro. Seriously though, the dude can score

 

[Archie Lee]

Although injury is always a possibility with Okposo, when healthy I think he will be in the line-up.

Also, I agree that the lines look like 3rd and 4th lines. That’s just how it will be until our young players show that they are legit top 6 guys. Hopefully Mitts is close. I’m excited to see him this year.

Clearly this is a team that will be predicted by many to finish last. If we somehow pick up a goalie and a vet centre before the season starts, I think they could surprise; by surprise, I mean finish in our classic area where we draft 7th or 8th OA.

I’m pumped to see what he can do with a full season. Feel like we didn’t get enough screen time of him to really know what he’s capable of

Hello friends, what do you project Casey to get for points next season?

Hello friends, what do you project Casey to get for points next season?

Don't know but he will get every opportunity as the top offensive center and on the #1 PP.

The rest is dependent on him and how the team plays.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Hello friends, what do you project Casey to get for points next season?

I’m hoping he can be in the 40’s. 50+ would be huge.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Thanks guys!

 

[molotce]

I’m hoping he can be in the 40’s. 50+ would be huge.

personnally i'll say above 50 if he indeed gets a good top 6 spot and pp1.

 

[sabremike]

I’m hoping he can be in the 40’s. 50+ would be huge.

If he is paired with Tage he wins the Art Ross going away.

He was pacing for ~65 over the 2nd half of last season.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

He was pacing for ~65 over the 2nd half of last season.

Yes, and I’m optimistic. But that could very easily have been a fluke too.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

I don't see 65 points in Mittelstadt's future unless NHL rules enforcement changes dramatically.

 

[Sabre Dance]

I was thinking no goalies. He might be able to hit 65 points if they eliminated goalies.

 

[KeyserSoze81]

I was thinking no goalies. He might be able to hit 65 points if they eliminated goalies.

Judging from the Sabres actions in free agency, I think our management is anticipating goalies being eliminated. We may be ahead of the curve!

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

I would actually watch NHL games with shot trainers in lieu of Goalies.

Are you implying he’s soft?

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Are you implying he’s soft?

I'm implying he'd need the increased number of PP opportunities rules enforcement would provide; and the overall uptick in scoring resulting from decreased obstruction.

 

[sabremike]

I would actually watch NHL games with shot trainers in lieu of Goalies.

Would beat Carter Hutton, that's for sure.

 

[The Blunder Years]

He could easily break out even more this season. If him and Cozens can take over Eichel’s offensive output plus some I’d be happy. My guess, 50 points for Mitts and 35 for Cozens

 

[Fjordy]

Stud

I think its a possibility, we’ll judge it again next season when he is 23 !

 

[MeenOlViks]

Has anyone checked his Instagram account lately?

Has anyone checked his Instagram account lately?

Checked it for you. Nothing in over a year. Maybe that's good.

 

[Matt Ress]

He probably opened a DirkDiggler69 account for friends and family to catch up on boat trips.
