I see zero upside in this deal for Minnesota. We have $4 million in cap room to sign a backup goalie, a depth forward, and leave room for injuries. Making this trade doesn't fill either of those holes, but it cuts out $500k for us to work with and it drops us back almost a full round. Add on to that the fact that Mittelstadt hasn't played close to a full season in 3 years and we now we definitely need the extra forward to compensate for his injuries. From our perspective, we're taking on the worse contract and paying for the right to do so which makes this an easy pass.
