Bringing him in for draft picks would make the team better than it is now.

Would rather see a different move than that to improve the team now.  But in a vacuum, it is better than nothing.  Pretty sure that's what you're trying to get at.

That is exactly all I am saying. 

Any decent forward for draft picks is a plus.

Just hoping for what was here to be better is dumb. Casey was here. Now your hoping that he would be better.

Not better than he was, but the roster better than it currently is. Temporary hole fill while Helenius develops. You got a better player who is available for draft picks I'm all for it.

I knew what you meant, and I agree with it. Just having some fun.

Would you give up a first round pick for him? I would be open to it.

There is a good reason Mittelstadt isn't here and no, I wouldn't trade for him, even draft picks.

A first round pick for Mitts?  Uh No! Fir a 3rd or middling prospect I’d think about it.

He would give them a play making centre. He wouldn’t be my first choice at all but he would be better than doing nothing. The problem though is Mitts isn’t a burner and they seem to be building around speed.  But if you could give up a pick and have both Mitts and Byram in your lineup that initial deal looks good 😁
