What an incredible bounceback for the Avalanche. They needed Casey Mittelstadt to get things figured out and he did. His linemates were a big reason why.
Mittelstadt notched an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins. Mittelstadt remains the second-line center for now, but things could change. The Avalanche are thin down the middle, but their trade that sent Mikko Rantanen to Carolina freed up cap space that could allow them to add a top-six forward.
Recent rumors have suggested that Colorado Avalanche center Casey Mittelstadt could be on the trading block. This made me wonder: what if Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams decided to try to bring back the organization’s eighth-overall pick from 2017?
Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News: Nick Kypreos mentioned last week that the Toronto Maple Leafs could be interested in someone like New York Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield if he were made available. Mayfield has six years left on his contract at a $3.5 million cap hit, and a full no-trade clause.
