I'm not even confident Mittelstadt would get claimed on waivers. He's not lazy he's just trash.

A trade usually involves at least two parties.
Yeah meaning Mitts wouldn’t do much for the Sharks. They would rather take draft picks for Granlund than receiving Mittelstadt back

Cool. Thanks for clarifying. And honestly, don’t care. Keep Granlund. Buy a tombstone for him.
No but he cost us a lot, show us great things ans was realy a nice asset until mid november and then meh except for last night

As a Shark fan, I'm definitely against it. Granlund is an experienced player who helps a young group. If you're going to trade Mick, it's for the first round. There's absolutely no benefit from having Casey on the roster, just another unnecessary contract on the payroll. Let Colorado look for other candidates for Mittelstadt

Well constructed proposal which I think Avs would actually do. Sharks I'm not too sure about. Unless Granlund says he'll come back in the summer. Even in that case Mittelstadt is not exactly someone I'm seeing Grier wanting around their franchise youngsters. Even less so for 2 years at 5.75M.

I think it works but it really would hinge on what Granlund would sign for.
The Avs challenge is not necessarily 2C/3C imo, it’s balancing the rest of the depth chart after paying MacKinnon, Rantanen next year, then Makar the next year after that. One could then also add a highly valuable middle 6 center but what money then exists for wingers.
Having a middle 6 center under 6 mil aav for the big name contract timeframe is helpful. You’d need granlund to be somewhat similar. I think an unbiased observer would suggest that you won’t be super strong in this area and that’s just kinda how that will be, barring some out performance or internal development.
It’s difficult to see what signed player could be acquired that is both better and cheaper. With the inflationary cap, it is harder to find players who’s pay will remain low.
FWIW in sympathize. The penalty for developing similarly aged talent is that it becomes increasingly difficult, the better the talent is, to build the team around them when they’re all 27+. I’d argue the Avs have a top 3 player in each role, so the system will punish very hard. It seems unfair. I’m a fan of a franchise tag situation that would allow teams to reduce the cap impact of a single star contributor; leads to market stability and allows teams to have great players without tragic cap structures, gives teams a tool to manipulate the cap ceiling.
