The Avs reportedly have not been high on Middelstat and he comes from a loser franchise (Buffalo) so unless the Avs are adding I don’t see why that is a good deal for Calgary? Unless Kadri requests a trade to Colorado or Toronto I wouldn’t really entertain that offer unless the Avs are adding a significant futures piece

Point differential mainly comes for the PP. Mittelstadt most years is getting around 100 PP points to Kadri's 20+.
Mittlestadt's 59-point year he had 16 PP points which was a career high for both points and PP points. Kadri had 29 PP points when he got 87 points with the Avs. 22 PP points last year when he got 75 points.
I don't consider either player to be a huge asset on the PP, Kadri has just had more opportunity as he either has played with high end players on teams that lacked depth or top line on average hockey teams.
Mittelstadt hasn't played much on the Avs PP and played 2nd line on a bad Buffalo team.
5 on 5 they are fairly equal.
