Quoting: Celtics21
Just curious why the 32 thoughts guys are flagging him as someone who might be on the move
The Mittelstadt rumors were started by Andrew Peters,
who used to play for the Sabres & had a radio show locally.
He got let go from the show & is now doing a podcast,
& he apparently made up this crap to get some attention for his podcast (my interpretation)
Reason i think that is bc our GM has said (a few times) that he’s working on a new (long term) deal with Mitts’ agent,
& came out again to refute the Peters rumor that we were
“Shopping Mitts hard for a goalie”
I also think Peters was making crap up bc it makes no sense for us to be going after a goalie when UPL has had such a step forward & we still have Levi developing as well (who is seen as our future #1)
If Peters would’ve said for a top4 RD, then it would’ve made a bit more sense, but this is frankly just sounding A LOT like the BS hype Peters started earlier this season claiming that “we were signing Pat Kane to a multi year deal”
That was obviously a bunch of crap too
Friedman used to appear weekly on Peters radio show here,
so they have a relationship & I’m sure Friedman is just taking Peters at his word about the Sabres shopping Mitts
Obviously i have no clue where Friedman got his info,
but that’s what seems likely to me
In a nutshell,
I think Peters was just making crap up (AGAIN) to get attn for his podcast & generate more listeners
Imo, Peters is blurring the lines between what HE THINKS the Sabres should do, & passing that off as legit rumors
