Mittlestadt has struggled so far this season. He didn’t look good for the Sabres at their prospect tournament. He struggled in camp. I read an article in the Buffalo News and they mentioned him being a work in progress. He was quiet in the Rangers game. I saw their game against Vegas yesterday and he was again quiet.

He was great last season. Not so much yet this season.

Mittelstadt hasn't lit the world on fire.

Andersson is in the AHL.

Glass is in the WHL.

Vilardi is on the sidelines again.

The one thing they all have in common?

Time.

As in they need more of it.
Vilardi also might need a new body.

None of them are ready at the moment. Chytil is currently 4th in GP and 4th in points in players drafted in 2017. Only 5 have played 10 games or more. I think a lot of people are forgetting that when they criticize Andersson for being in the AHL or point out that Mittelstadt is disappointing. However, I do know that some people are just pointing it out as a response to the other player being criticized.

I like Vilardi, but the kids who miss significant time with injuries this young usually end up missing significant time down the road.

Sometimes it takes a few years, and lulls people into a belief that it's in the past, but it usually rears its ugly head sooner rather than later.

It's not always the case, but it happens a lot.

Anyway, can we just stick to Lias in this thread?

I think a lot of people want to rush the process in general these days.

The fervor of the league being younger has produced what I would consider to be an overreaction to kids needing actual time to develop.

Didn't Healy have a long discussion about goalie equipment a few years back and talk about masks not offering nearly as much protection as one would think?
