One player is 34 and the other is 26, the age difference is a major major factor here.

Middlestadt might put up similar points to Kadri but Kadri brings a lot more to the table and the Avs know it.
Mittlestadt can’t out up big numbers on the Avs, even with sheltered minutes. I’m not sure he’s any better than Zary at this point. Points aren’t everything.
I think Avs do Kadri for Mittlestadt straight up. It might look like a win for the Flames cause they get the younger player but Kadri will help the Avs win way more than Mittlestadt would. Mittlestadt would just be “mid” on a typical “mid” Flames team.
I think the two biggest prizes out there for playoff contenders are Miller and Kadri. The price will be different, Kadri will cost way less but the impacts won’t be far off.
