We're removing a proven 2nd liner and assuming kids and/or other new guys can take on those minutes.

He made the play that drew the PP where we tied the game up. Casey looks just fine and definitely NHL ready. This is surely a case of the expectations being too high.

Randall Flagg Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Mittelstadt is a better hockey player right now than he was in April. He looks like a kid who had 30 in 34 in NCAA hockey one year after HS hockey, which was less than 2 years ago. People remember Pronman ranking him high and not the fact that when he played center for 1.5 periods in April the Sabres could not register a single shot attempt while his line was on the ice until he was moved back to wing. The offseason praise plus Botterill assuming he's ready to be a 2C as part of the justification for the ROR trade made everyone forget what Casey actually currently is Edited September 26, 2018 by Randall Flagg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, though I think there was some assumption that Casey will be a productive center to some degree, and that was definitely how we project it to work out going forward. Should have phrased differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyhound Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Nylander WTF! To Rochester you go; take Casey with you, and see if you can win a championship down there. Guhle WTF! Wow, when it rains it pours. Holy Shi*, there you go set up Columbus for the one timer in the slot.

I'd wager that he may have thought that to be the most likely scenario, but not to the point where he didn't think the roster was capable of succeeding this year should Mittelstadt not be.
