Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Still think one of Nylander or Reinhart get traded I don't think so. So far, at least, JBOT seems to be very adept at turning nothing into something when addressing the team's biggest need on D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods-racer Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 How many ###### pushups can Middlestat do? About one tenth the number on the sweater that Rip will give him? Or is this a rhetorical question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm still advocating we blare this on the PA whenever Innenstadt Mittlelstadt scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 What need do you expect they will move him to fill? Defense, a different type of winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 http://buffalonews.com/2017/08/03/casey-mittelstadt-bringing-offense-team-usa/ There are no games on Thursday and Team USA is off. They will play Finland at 4 p.m. on Friday and meet Canada in the showcase finale at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct fab Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Still think one of Nylander or Reinhart get traded They won't be moving either. Both can play wing, which is a need on this team (especially LW). A lot of hate for Reinhart, a guy with 50+ points as a 20/21 year old. And if Nylander follows the trajectory his brother William Did, he'll have a breakout year in 2018/2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I believe he will get 50+ this year, that statement isn't correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Mittelstadt has dominated at the Jr showcase. He'll be on the World Jr team in Buffalo from 12/26/17 to 1/5/2018. If he plays well there, he'll probably be asked to play in the Olympics as well. The Olympic Tourney is 2/10/18 to 2/25/18. There are also usually some pre-tourney events and games. Gohper hockey goes from 10/1/17 to 2/24/2018 with the Big Ten tourney 3/2/18 to 3/17/18 and the NCAA Tourney 4/5/18 to 4/7/18. So here is my question. I'm sure Jbot wouldn't mind Casey getting tons of International experience, but will the Gophers let him leave the team for a month to play in the Olympics right in the heart of their season? The Gophers have a 34 game season. He'd only miss 2 games for the World Jrs. If playing in the Olympics he'd miss at least the last 6 games of the season (all conference) and maybe the last 9. The bottomline is that Casey could miss 1/3 of the Gophers season. I don't think they'll allow one of the their best players to go awol for that long. Thoughts?

It is very rare for a college to keep their student athletes from competing in the Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabre snipe Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 It is very rare for a college to keep their student athletes from competing in the Olympics. While having no idea what their actual policy is, if they were to keep an athlete from competing for his country in the olympics because he would miss 6 games of a freshman season, well then shame on them. Olympics are much bigger than college hockey and if he competes and does well it will actually gain exposure for their program, and id expect they realize that. Who knows if he would ever get a shot to play in the olympics again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Nice article on him https://www.nhl.com/news/sabres-mittelstadt-making-impact-at-world-junior-summer-showcase/c-290589750?tid=281266438 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Per Cory Pronman USA's World Junior GM Jim Johansson said Ryan Poehling (MTL), Casey Mittelstadt (BUF) and Adam Fox (CGY) were the standout performers to him for the WJC camp. Also mentioned Dylan Samberg (WPG) as a player who elevated his game above expectations. Wonder if this increases his Olympic Chances? A good WJCs could put him over the top.

3putt Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Middlestadt was noticeable almost every shift. His defensive awareness is exceptional. And he makes high end plays look routine. Edited August 6, 2017 by 3putt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkMeadow Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I know someone else has probably said this, but watching these highlights reinforces the impression I formed the first time I watched Mittelstadt: His style of skating and playmaking is very Patrick Kane-like. Here's hoping he avoids cabs and takes Uber, or better yet, his own private driver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
