3 Potential Landing Spots For Avalanche's Casey Mittelstadt

Colorado Avalanche forward Casey Mittelstadt has had trouble finding his fit with the Central Division club. Due to this, the Avalanche are open to moving him, and he is a clear player to watch during this week. Because of this, let's go over three teams who could look to acquire him now.

Calgary Flames

The Flames already made a notable move when they brought in Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost from the Philadelphia Flyers last month. However, it is apparent that they should not be done making moves to their forward group by the deadline. They could use another top-six center, and a young forward with term like Mittelstadt could grab their attention because of it.

Vancouver Canucks

The Canucks could be a team to watch when it comes to Mittelstadt. When looking at their current group, it is fair to argue that they could use another skilled center. If they acquired Mittelstadt, he could give them an upgrade to their second-line center spot and would be a clear option for their power play.

New York Islanders

The Islanders also stand out as a possible landing spot for Mittelstadt. While they are out of a playoff spot right now, a player like Mittelstadt could make sense for them because he is signed under contract beyond this season. Furthermore, fellow center Brock Nelson is a pending unrestricted free agent and trade candidate. Thus, Mittelstadt could be a good replacement in the top six if the Islanders move on from Nelson.
