They really shouldn’t in terms of roster construction. I get wanting a guy. But I just don’t think it’s something to target

I still want a faceoff Lazar/Gaustad as my 3C/4C.

I'm fine with employing Jost as a bottom-sixer, and I think he's a stylistic fit moreso than Olofsson. I'd trade one of Olo and Mitts for a real top-4 Dd and the other for a pick to make room for Kulich

I’m feeling a little dizzy

2-2 in like 4 minutes
Habs first 3 shots went in
3-3, then FL went off
7 FL goals in <14 minutes

Rhino with a beauty

Doesn't your desire mean you'd be moving one of Jost or Krebs...?

Can you get anything for VO at his $? If not, can you wait any longer?

Would the trade return be much better if the Sabres retained 50% on his current deal?

It’s funny how these two were comparable until December. Don’t think you can put them remotely in the same category anymore

They have different values. Olo absolutely has value as a 3rd line PP specialist and Mitts deserves a chance as a 2C on a different team.

Both are blocked here and need a shot elsewhere. Either can help the team land a Jokiharju upgrade and both should honestly move on for their own sake and the sake of the team's construction

With the improvement Casey has shown at wing, his days at Center may be over.

Think you eliminate over half the league as options if you don't.

I think he and his agent would have a different opinion

We want 10

Montembault pulled after three goals
Allen pulled after 6 more went in
Montembault back in

Habs have 4 on 11 shots

Mitts is a lock to be here next year. After that who knows. But the needs a fresh start, trade him just to trade him narrative went away a while ago.

Now that Olofsson has sat, Mitts is the only guy who hasn’t that isn’t named Tuch/Thompson/Skinner/Cozens/Girgensons/Okposo.

They value him and he’s turned a corner

The GM's of all the teams in the NHL might have a different opinion then Casey and his agent.

I'm not saying to trade him just to trade him.

I've been one of his vocal proponents for years now. I think they should trade him to land a real top-4 D piece.

He deserves a shot at a 2nd line center role imo

Without getting into the C/W debate, I think moving to a different team after finally carving out a role and settling in with solid all around play, would probably be the last thing Mittelstadt would want

I think he can be Kevin Hayes (points-wise) who landed a 7x7 deal, and I suspect he and his agent would like that opportunity as well.

He needs another shot at C

Personally I think that would be a mistake but we can agree to disagree

I know the team values him on the ice and in the room, and I’m sure 89 would share that sentiment (not saying you disagree with that part)

Past next year I think it’s up in the air
