Mittelstadt plays HS in the suburb next to me on a traditionally strong team in the MPLS area. Wanted to emphasize that, unlike many other MN HS players, he plays agains the toughest competition night in, night out, in the league. I've forgotten if they played against Shattuck this year, also.
Bottom line is that his stats aren't padded by playing weaker teams.
If he fills out, I see him being a top 6 player in the NHL. His hands and quickness are special. He has this unique ability to Beat defenders in close quarters in the slot....you think he's trapped, and has nowhere to go, then you blink and he's squirted past them with a good scoring chance. In that ability I would liken him to a P. Kane. Really slick, quick hands.
If he keeps eating his Cheerios over the summer I see him being a top 10 guy. He should have decent size and strength...maybe 6' +? He won't be a " small" player, in any event.
