Sean Monahan Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 https://www.diebytheblade.com/2018/3/26/17164544/buffalo-sabres-sign-casey-mittelstadt-to-an-entry-level-contract The Buffalo Sabres announced this morning they’ve signed 2017 eighth overall pick Casey Mittelstadt to a three-year entry-level contract. The 19-year-old forward will report to the Sabres by the end of the week according to TSN insider Bob McKenzie. Hopefully this gives them a little boost to end their season and they win some games down the stretch here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we sign Gaudette, won't our boost cancel out their boost? Edit: No longer 'if'. Gaudette just signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRocket18 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 So did buffalo burn a year of elc as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richado Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Will be interesting to see how his game translates to the NHL. Like Pettersson, his stock has risen substantially since the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it won’t start the clock on his expansion draft status either, similar to Gaudette. Maybe @SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME or @Rick Blight or one of the other nerds on here can confirm that though.

Makaramel MacKhiato Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Great form. Give them a boost, then become a bust next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam126 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hopefully he scores a hattrick every game and helps Buffalo win out the remaining games so we can swoop down to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brobidus Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 This seems rushed. I've heard that his university is having problems with the hockey program. Seems like that might be the reason. Maybe he goes down to the AHL for a year or two like A. Nylander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him starting with the Sabres next year (for the team to sell tickets and save face) then getting sent to the AHL for being just too horrible defensively.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I will be honest, prior to the draft, Casey Mittelstadt was one of the players I wanted the Canucks to select at 5th overall. Almost a year later, I'm happy we selected Elias Pettersson. I think most would agree that Pettersson wasn't on anyone's radar, as much of the focus was on Cody Glass and Gabriel Vilardi.

Mittelstadt was one of my hopefuls as well. I was on the Pettersson train pretty early posting videos of him in the 2017 draft message board around the 2017 trade deadline trying to get the hype started. I had him and Mittelstadt both ahead of Vilardi and Glass. I was preaching skill and felt both EP and CM had more skill. Although had Mittelstadt had a phenomenal combine in terms of physical attributes I probably would have ranked him higher than EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I remember wanting us to draft this kid so bad. Could end up being a real special player. Some of his highlight reels are insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
