[Habsy]

So it’s taken him time to figure it out? Most D take time.

 

[CH1]

it's a nice problem to have

All kidding aside here, when did Mittelstadt actually become good and a viable prospect?

When he turned 24

 

[Habsy]

10 points in 5 games isn’t too shabby.

When he turned 24

He’s 23

Two years ago at Minnesota.

He has always been a smart player that was talked about by the scouts leading up to his signing last year. He is 23 yes. Which means he is close to nhl duty.

If his name starts circulating in trade talks what a win for the team.

He has proven more than ready for the ahl, trade addition perhaps.

Hutson replacement

Hutson replacement

Would Washington do that trade though?

 

[Krustchev]

It's too bad that HuGo gave Matheson trade protection.

But now we're stuck with him for 5 more years. The Habs are no worse without MM if you've watched their games since his injury.

Trade chip or #7.

His rate is fine for a high end third pair guy. Play him 15-17 minutes and he’ll be fine. He’s most certainly not a #1 D and shouldn’t be playing those kind of minutes.

 

[Habspatrol]

He’s 23

The future is obviously bright.

 

[CH1]

He went undrafted twice. Habs are all over those late bloomers

Late bloomers = old lady panties.

But he does. His "stupidity" on the ice typically starts by the middle of the 3rd period, after he's played too much before then. It's so obvious.
