A deal around Casey Mittelstaedt could work for both teams. Both have the same number of team-controlled years. Sabres probably add a prospect like Isek Rosen but not a top tier one like Kulich or Benson.
Given how Americans seems to be trying to get away from the Flames at the moment, I don't think they'd be all that interested in Mittelstadt.
Kind of weird how Sabres fans are willing to trade just about anything in their system but not their unconditional 2024 1st rounder. Because if I'm Conroy, that's exactly what I'm targeting because it'd be the best way to obtain a potential top defenseman or centerman (aged to fit the rebuild timeline) that the Flames need more than anything else. It's gotta be a quality over quantity package otherwise it's just a waste.
