Prospect Info: Tom Willander: 11th Overall 2023 Draft (Rogle BK J20) - Part 02

[Raistlin]

I could never understand anybody getting too pumped up over Mittelstadt. He's now on his third NHL team in Boston.....and didn't do much for them late in the season.

He finished the season with 15 goals and 25 assists. But his contract of $5.750 million doesn't expire until the end of the 2026-27 season. So it might be a contract the Bruins want to get out of from under.

But would Mittelstadt help the Canucks all that much?. Seems like a bit of a perimeter player to me.

He's another 3 line center that we have enough of.

Musty + Ottawa's 2nd for Willander
Not a center but, a future Boeser replacement.

Ya. He was set up for success in Colorado and pretty much fell on his face.

I like Musty, but this return doesn’t address anything for us. Not good trade partners.

The centre market sucks and, unless an unexpected player becomes available or the Canucks drastically overpay, players like Mittelstadt will be in the range of what we should expect.

He has high end skill. Everyone wants to buy low, but many can't seem to tolerate the low @now aspect of it. He's at an age where he can still break out with his underlying abilities. Not saying that Casey is necessarily the right target, but I have always liked his skill. Whoever we target it should probably be a relatively young, somewhat distressed asset who has breakout potential.

Heard Cam Robinson say that Willander could be signed in the next week on Sekeres and Price.

Hard no as Willander is someone the Canucks should not be trading and while I think Musty might turn out to be fine NHLer he also ahs bust potential IMO.

Undefeated in the post season so far, zero goals allowed.

Yeah but their offense has really dried up... I don't even remember the last time they scored!
