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.

He seems to fit what Conroy and Iggy want, which is “size, speed, skill”. Mittlestadt looked great against the Flames last year, dynamic and highly skilled.
He was clearly rushed to the NHL, barely spent any time in the minors and his development suffered for it.
I wouldn’t be upset if Mittlestadt was the centrepiece of a Hanifin return. He could be great with Huberdeau.
