I think with the 13th pick gone and used, I'm not sure what I'd want from Buffalo.
Lysell+ from Boston is not near enough either.
There's no certainty Buffalo offered the 13th, but if they did and the Flames didn't jump at it then we really mucked that up.

Mittlestadt had 59 points last year playing on the third line and on the 2nd PP unit. He’s 24 and has 139 points in 227 NHL games (0.61 PPG). No, he’s probably not going to be an elite centre. But if the Flames move on from Lindholm or Backlund, they’ll need someone to step in an play #2/3 C going forward, and Mittlestadt looks a heck of a lot better there than Dube (24 years old with 120 points in 282 games for 0.43 PPG).
The player who the Flames need to steer clear of is Olofsson. The Sabres are trying to move him, but he’s as one-dimensional as they come.
