If he gets 20 points this year he is ok

On Pace for 70 points and sucks


I am going to pick up Olli now at the airport

Mittelstadt hasn’t been good. He’s also a rookie who’s been out with some pretty weak ass linemates for a guy who everyone knew wasn’t McDavid or Eichel.
- sbroads24


I mean, on draft day me and one other guy pointed out that he was never actually That good.

This isn't to say that he isn't good or won't be good, but he's basically the anti reinhart.

His silky hands, try hard stride, and occasional highlight reel goal makes it appear like he's doing more than he actually is. Everyone knew he wasn't mcdavid or eichel, but they saw one highlight package and assumed first line centre.

He does have better wingers then pouliot and Griffith though
- homiedclown

Reinhart wasn’t a rookie though.

If this is third year Casey we have an issue

He is a bigger bust in terms of where drafted at this point

Even if he played in an all star game

Really, no one tanks for the 14th pick?

Everyone knows nhl talent is generally picked in the first 5 picks. That's why those picks are protected.

At 14 your guessing more then at 2

I agree with you on this one.

Mitts has been disappointing.
My expectations were way too high

19 years old though.
No man muscle yet
No professional hockey until 6 games last year

Serious question, show me a level of hockey in which he actually dominated outside of high school?

Eye-test man, makes you think Mittelstadt is a class above Reinhart cause it's easier on the eyes.

I was hoping for 65.

50 seems very achievable.

Girgensons is such a great representation of Regier's tenure. Masterful job acquiring the pick, smart to move up a couple of spots and then....poop.

I feel bad for him, he really should've been in Rochester. At least to start.

Tip ins don't generate tweets the way finessing some slovakian guy nobody has ever heard of does.

They do both equal a point though

He was talking to Nucks to get Casey earlier in that draft
