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.

Not buying what you are selling at all. Kadri was better on the power play on a deeper Avs team so why is Middlestat not seeing the time? I find it strange when people try to discount power play points like they are worth less.
End of the day Kadri is a career 0.71ppg which works out to 58pts per 82. Middlestat is a career 0.55ppg player which works out to 45pts per 82. One guy plays with an edge and was a key member of a cup winning team and the other is on the block a year after he was dealt and spent most of his career on the worst run franchise in the league.
Not even a deal I consider unless the Avs are adding some significant futures which would be the more enticing part of the return. Sure they could pump and dump Middlestat but no guarantees that works
