This is part 3 of my 2C challenge for the Colorado Avalanche. Last time we covered options from the Arizona Coyotes. This time we're doing the Buffalo Sabres. As I said last time, I'm skipping the Boston Bruins because they are a certain playoff team and won't be helping the Avs at all. Let's get started.

The center options here are Tage Thompson, Casey Mittelstadt, Dylan Cozens, and Peyton Krebs.

This one has been talked about a lot, and it's an easy answer. Thompson and Cozens are staying put, and Krebs is not a 2C. All we have is Casey Mittelstadt. For the fun of it, his numbers are good. 38 points in 44 games and about 18 min TOI. His defense is OK and his face off percentage is pretty good. He's only 24 years old and with a cap hit of $2.5M. Things can only go up for him. Knowing that, it is going to be hard to pry him out of Buffalo, especially if this team seriously wants to make the playoffs. Would probably need to be an overpay to get this one done, so I'm going to leave this trade blank and ask the Sabres fans what Mittelstadt is worth to you. Thanks for reading!

This is a healthy post TDL roster assuming the only assets traded for Mittelstadt are prospects and picks (probably not the case, but who knows?).
