The idea is to get something for Kadri while he has value - he's 34, so he won't for long. But I agree that Mittelstadt is a less than exciting asset to get back.
I could have gotten on board with this, two months ago. But the team deserves to have them hold onto Kadri for now, plus, with the cap going up as much as it is, he probably still has some value next year.
I wouldn't hate the deal (if COL added), but I think they should table a Kadri trade until next year (unless Ritchie is involved)
