Sabres not paying Mittelstadt then trading for Colton would make me very angry.

Overall though, Mitts + picks for Byram and Colton still seems like a fair trade, imo.
Hope Bo works out for you all. The talent and potential certainly isn't lacking.

Mittelstadt is a lot better. They don’t want a long term commitment to another center until one of Kulich/Savoie or östlund become full time NHL players.

I think it was the 6.5 - 7m that Casey will be making is what they did not like.
Colton is at 4m and a different style player. (Same goal production though)
A style Buffalo needs to add.
Plus Bo is a nice add.

Done deal.
A bona fide 3C for a 2nd and a 3rd works for me

Mitts is better but in the grand scheme of things, Kyv wasn't going to pay him $6.5 M give or take to be a mid-six/top-6 forward that can play top-line in a pinch.
Am of the opinion that unless something weird or devastating happens, KAGM and Lindy will be riding Tage and Cozens as their Nos. 1&2 C's leaving a clear need at 3C.
There's a ton of fear emanating from Sabreland that's based upon an impending cap-ceiling problem. Which is legit.
Colton is a 3C that's $2.5M less than Mitts and servers that role well for not only the price, but also for what they need.
I think the Sabres could easily be interested in Colton
Idk what we’d pay, but he could be a really nice for at 3C for us
One of the better ideas I’ve seen frankly
And idk what you’re expecting
@buf10,
but we aren’t gonna have a better 3C than Mitts next year bud
It’s just not happening
