‘The jury remains out on the 23-year-old forward, the No. 8 pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. Mittelstadt has 80 points (33 goals, 47 assists) in 195 NHL games and has never scored more than 12 goals in one season. He had 19 points (six goals, 13 assists) last season despite being limited to 40 games because of an upper-body injury.’
