I hope Mittelstadt can figure it out in Boston.

I seriously don't know what the hell happened. His first 50 games with Colorado (incl. playoffs) were great. Looked solid 2-way, 14 goals and 37 points despite often drawing the short straw with his linemates. It's been horrible by every measurable and eye test since mid-November. I'm guessing that once his cold streak started, things began snowballing mentally and his play devolved to the point he was a liability for long stretches. I also question his fitness level, he looked completely gassed skating back to the bench after practically every shift.

Obviously the optics of going from Byram -> Coyle are ugly. But as an Avs fan I'm just thrilled the team has center depth for the first time in eons.

This is the one trade the Avs made that I'm not sure of to be honest.

Coyle is not having a good season. Beauty of sports is you can always remedy that in the playoffs, but Mittelstadt might've done the same.

But more importantly, I'm willing to bet that in the 2 years Mittelstadt has left in his contract, his value will be higher at some point than what it is now.

Coyle on the other hand might just be tailing off. Or I'm positive he is. It comes down to can he still squeeze every drop of his ability in these 1.5 years with the Avs. They clearly are betting on that.

And well, coming off of a career year last year, he might do that. And he was the 3C for Boston when they made the finals, so I get it.

Yes, no disputing we sold Mittelstadt at his absolute lowest value.

It’s a mandate to not be soft.
 
Colorado needs to play him at center to get the most out of him. It's really hard to get the puck off of his stick so if you play him on a line that likes to play down low, you should get good results.

Thanks for the info, it is greatly appreciated!

Yes, it is just you. Joe isn’t making the trades and hasn’t for some time now.

Hell I have a hard enough time remembering the name of your coach nevermind your GM but the point still stands.

I actually have to look up who Chris MacFarland is now but still looks like he was day drinking.

I think this is a good trade for both teams.
Coyle is a much better 3C fit for Colorado. Better defensively and more physical.

Mittlestadt has a better chance of taking off offensively in Boston because I think he will get a chance to play with Pasta. He is a good playmaker and I think more talented offensively than Zacha.

I honestly think Coyle could do pretty well if he plays with some legitimate finishers.

He's had a lot of really good puck possession in the o-zone this year but has zero finishing ability himself and was mostly playing with bums.
