Mittlestadt. Would cost a lot less but for obvious reasons. Would a team like Canucks give it a go? Can’t see teams beating door down to acquire him, more of a cap dump than anything.

As I said a few days ago, I don't see much in Ottawa that we would want in a trade, or that they would be willing to give. Not sure if talking to Staios would make much of a difference, and I'm sure Rasmus' trade value will still be considerably lower without the guarantee of him signing long-term.
I liked Mittlestadt better when he was an up-and-coming first-rounder, but I think we pretty much know what he is now- a 50/60-point second-line C, who maybe had a bad year in 2024-25. He's a little vanilla though, but I think he still holds value- I would take him, as long as the price isn't too high.
