Expand My expectation is that Cozens will move ahead at some point as well. But, my expectation is that will happen 1 or 2 seasons from now; not next season. If it does happen next season, Mittelstadt's trajectory/ ceiling is lower than we're all hoping it to be.

Expand He's 3rd or 4th on the depth chart. Should we expect him to be higher? If his entire line settles in 3rd or 4th next year that'll do. Oh Mittlestadt btw

If Cozens supplants him next year (at only 20 yo, btw) then Mitts likely tops out as a nearly solid 2C / good 3C. He's NOT a golden lab puppy when he doesn't have the puck anymore. He grew a lot after getting sent to Ra-cha-cha. Hoping (& expecting) he's not done improving.
LabattBlue Posted April 22, 2021 Report Posted April 22, 2021 Brandon Hagel with his 2nd OT goal of the season last night. Now has 19 points in 43 games. Thanks Botts! 😡

Expand I still see 2C as Casey's ceiling, I guess for me that would fall under "solid" - but it's just as likely to me he's more of a 2/3 tweener, maybe even back on wing. Above average 2C is a bit too optimistic, in my opinion, but who knows I see Cozens in the Scheifele trajectory mode - I could see him becoming a top 15 league centre

Expand 60 is probably good 1C quality. Average 1C I'd imagine is a bit below that? It's tricky looking just at points: I could see him around that 45-50 mark, which is second line production at least - but I think he does it as a winger or, maybe more likely, as the centre on an offensively sheltered 3rd line. The Roy line for lack of a better term. His raw totals on a line like that wouldn't be transferable to the 2C mold I see Cozens fulfilling - 200 feet of dominance against other teams' best/better players. Both could have 50 points but one will do it tilting the ice against better competition

I think Roy is Casey's ceiling and in his prime Roy was a good 2C.
