Confirmed with Link: Mittelstadt re-signed (3 years, $5.75M AAV)

[expatriatedtexan]

If Mittelstadt is the problem, why trade Colton? He makes 4 million a year and is one bad MacFarland trade away from being the 2nd best C option on the Avs.

Just because Mitts is the main problem at 2C, doesn't mean Colton making 4M for being a bottom six winger is any less of a complete waste of cap.

He did not look like he was having fun. I'm sure we can all agree on that.

This is that makes is so damn sad. When was the last time you were on ice with a stick in your hand and tons of pucks laying around and you didn't have fun? My time actually spent playing hockey is so damn short compared to most because I didn't really have ice until I was old and didn't have a group to play with until I was a complete relic from another era.

It f***ing sucks that cameras are following him like this in Denver. This is the crap that Montreal and Toronto media do. I want the Avs media to do better than kick dogs when they are down.

To be fair though, this is the first time I felt Vogt was being mean-spirited by pushing this out.

Yeahhhhh and then you remember this kid is making almost $6 million a year to, I guess, have a horrible time playing a game.

I'm not trying to kick him while he's down but I don't really feel sympathy for him either.

Rock bottom.

Does anyone would be surprised if we were to learn that Mitts asked for a trade 2 months ago?

I'm actually surprised CMac didn't three months ago.

CMac can't find a middle 6 center to save his life: Newhook, RyJo, Colton, Mitts, Parsnip...

Only Drury has a shot at 3C now but ideally he's a 4C.

They traded Byram for this guy ffs...and a year later he has little to no trade value. That's on top of having to pay to get rid of RyJo last year. That's a lot of misses.

I’m 100% convinced someone made a deal with the devil for the 2022 cup and the condition was that every 2C would fail after.

I actually think it was that the hockey gods had finally decided the Avs had provided enough sacrifices to earn their blessings…but then NAK smashed the Cup and they accrued a massive amount of hockey karmic debt

It’s just unfortunate because he looked good after the trade and to start the year, I don’t get what happened. All I know is Mitts has to go.

So it was a stupid idea to give him 8 years, or no?

Could have just kept Kadri. Dude was willing to sign at a decent cap hit. Instead they didn't and have made one mistake after another to find one.

Byram + 1st were traded and still no answer. That package should net you something really damn juicy.

Terrible asset management.

Mind if I aask a question? Are you upset CMac took a swing, that it went foul or just because it's Saturday?
