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

[Flash20]

3 years 3M. Nothing more. He's having a bounce back, but it needs to be realistic.

He's training Routine is not eating cheeseburgers and pizza and playing video games all night

he's changed his life this is Opportunity to lock a player very cheap and we win in the end .. Flyers did that with Wayne , Couturier. Jets
Did it with ehlers

Colorado did it with Nathan MacKinnon .. its our turn

 

[BananaSquad]

Why waste Cozens on the wing when he's been perfectly fine center and a two way player. Put him down the center and find someone else to play 2RW in the off season.

I agree. Cozens/ Reinhart should be playing Center.

 

[Hasekperreault23]

I agree. Cozens/ Reinhart should be playing Center.

I think Reinhart and Couzens should be on same line and just rotate

It's better to rotate a left and right hander, that actually gives you a advantage. So Reino and Casey or Casey and Cozens. Not two right handers

No I meant Casey is definitely a centre,Reinhart and Cozens just take turns.I get your left/ right shot reason but not thinking that in this scenario

 

[BananaSquad]

We definitely need to roll 3 of these guys at center. Eichel and Mittlestadt are locks imo, Cozens or Reinhart should be the other one.

 

[Washed Up 29YearOld]

Perfect! Time to sign him to a 2 year deal now taking him to free agency or RFA so he can get an enormous contract in case this 'iSn'T tHe ReAl HiM'

yup, I totally agree and think that’s 100% clear and obvious. Pretty wild we have potentially four top 6 centers right now. Eichel is a franchise level. Reinhart is good 2nd line center. Mitts and Cozens absolutely have top line potential.

Reinhart for sure is center #2 come next season (if re-signed of course). I'm good with Cozens starting on the wing in the top-9, and being fed special teams minutes.

I’m with you. Cozens can dominate at wing.

I think one of them ends up playing on the wing. Cozens is the only potential "match up against the other teams top line" center. We could use a Larsson-esque checking center.

 

[HaNotsri]

If I ran Sabres marketing I'd do an epic embedded episode that investigates how many pull ups Casey can do now.
Flashbacks to the draft, comments and memes on the internet, Caseys journey as a hero from succesfull debut to Rochester and back again culminating in him taking the pull up challenge.

Especially since he's a bit black and blue he'll do an even better fighting face.

 

[BananaSquad]

This kid gets it now. I expect a huge offseason and a breakout year next season (like the rest of the league going wow Mittlestadt).

 

[Sabre Dance]

Default 1C 2021.

 

[flashsabre]

Surprised he didn’t go to the Worlds with Tage

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Surprised he didn’t go to the Worlds with Tage

RFA so can't risk getting hurt with no contract

 

[ForsbergMoDo21]

Surprised he didn’t go to the Worlds with Tage

Tage is going to the WHC? I wonder how much his seats cost him.

 

[BananaSquad]

So do we think Mittlestadt is gonna play in every role for Granato this season? I think he could have a huge year.

 

[sabremike]

Tage is going to the WHC? I wonder how much his seats cost him.

Sir he won a bronze medal!

Every time the thread updates I expect gym pics, even after all this time. Instead I'm getting a tall necked horse.

I would give Casey something similar to Zacha's 2nd conract.

3 years, $2.25M AAV

 

[The Blunder Years]

I kinda want all our RFAs, (Dahlin, Joker, Mitts, Asplund) on two year deals. That only takes them to age 23-24 when they need new deals. Keep them hungry for two years then payout something long term if they show they’re worth It.

Seems smart. There isn't a player I would sign long term at this time.
