‘Jason Botterill finally had to admit how he had botched this kid’s development and sent him to Rochester. Things didn’t go any better down there until Chris Taylor seemed to finally get through to him. Mittelstadt has not been one to keep himself in top physical condition and Taylor got him on the right path. When the AHL season paused, Mittelstadt had 18 points in his last 22 games. When he started his AHL career, it took the kid seven games to get his first goal.’
