Hanifin for Mittlestadt would be tidy. Thompson and Cozens are locked in as the top two centres on BUF, and guys like Krebs, Savoie, and Ostlund are pushing from below. Meanwhile, if the Flames move Lindholm, they’d welcome a young middle-six C to replace him. Works for both teams.
If BUF feel Mittlestadt is part of their core (and he’s very well liked in the room and by the organization), then maybe something around Savoie and/or the 13th overall.

Mittlestadt is very mediocre. He really doesn’t provide a whole lot now or the future. If you trade Lindholm or Hanifin, you would want a top 6 forward or a top 4 dman now or someone who can be a really good one in the future. Not someone in between
