Nice overview of top 10 prospects in hockey. Casey at #1. So excited to see what he can do next season.
Very weird
How in the eff is he not on the team, lol?
Lost in all the Dahlin-ism, has there been any follow-up report on the condition of his groin injury?
I was of the belief it was more “poorly timed” than serious...but this was the last I saw about a week ago from VoglLost in all the Dahlin-ism, has there been any follow-up report on the condition of his groin injury?
Sabres center Casey Mittelstadt was left off the U.S. team for the World Championship with a groin injury. Botterill said the 19-year-old's ailment is not serious.
"It's disappointing for him and for ourselves because we felt this was going to be a great opportunity for him," Botterill said. "Casey sometimes you watch him on the ice and you’re very impressed, but he's also just a young kid. He was excited to play with Patrick Kane. He was excited to play with these NHL players.
"It's a groin, but it shouldn't be anything more than a couple weeks. But obviously with the tournament starting next week, it just didn't make any sense for him to go over there."

The hype of this kid will definitely be lost with Dahlin but I am very excited to see what he bring to training camp.
I feel like that’s a very good problem to have as an organization.The hype of this kid will definitely be lost with Dahlin but I am very excited to see what he bring to training camp.
How do you want to deploy Casey this year? In a small sample size (6 games) he had 1g, 4a 5pts +1 with 14minutes of ice time.
Is it possible he follows a Clayton Keller path? Keller in his first full season posted these numbers...
82g 23g, 42a, 65pts -7 18mins of ice time
If Casey remains on the 3rd line I can definitely see him be a 50+ point center. Of course, we'd all like to see a positive +/-.

Mitts - O'Reilly - Reinhart would be fun.On the wing. Much like a lot of guys who were centers in junior or college, I think he should not be tasked of playing center at this time. We don't have the support 3rd line wingers talented enough to really complement him well, while he's still learning the NHL game at a stronger and faster pace. Treat him like Toronto was treating Marner, or Philly treated Giroux, or Tampa treated Stamkos.
IMO, you put Mittelstadt on ROR or Eichel's wing. Go after a Riley Nash type guy and have a center spine of Eichel-ROR-Nash.
The last game of the season Casey was centering Pominville and Rodrigues. Buffalo Sabres Line Combinations | Buffalo Sabres Line Combos | leftwinglock.com
Damn, that lineup was ugly.
Check out the hops on Mittelstadt. Funnier is a reply to the tweet from a guy who is more incredulous that Bogosian is on the ice playing than over Mittlestadt's 70 inch vertical jump.
