Sam Girard, right.
I would think it will take more than Casey for Toews, and what does his next contract look like?
Love the player though.

KA and team need to find their own Toews trade, and I would prefer a RhD myself.

- IonSabres

Well either one could be on the trade block, they are looking for a 2C. Girard has 4 or 5yrs left on his Contract and is a Left shot that plays RD.
Toews is a UFA after next year

Would you trade Casey Mittelstadt for Devon Toews or Dan Girard ?
- Buff36


my man he's already our D coach!

If you meant Sam Girard, no.

Toews?

Yeah probably.

Just went through that again. Doubt Calgary considers something like that considering the assets they have to compete. Their new GM may want to shake things up. But I just don't see the realism in that offer.

Is Calgary planning on signing one or both to long term extensions after the upcoming season?

If they did, that would go along with the trio of long term deals in Kadri, Huberdeau and Weegar.

If they don't plan on extending either one, are they going to ride out the season with both of them and let their contracts expire?

How fast Allen’s contract fell down the pole. Looking like a Bargain if you can call it that. Damn!! What is Burrows gonna get ?

without new management in place, one could only speculate.

The thing is, though, is that they paid a hefty price on losing JG and MT. They invested heavily on JH and MW. All of their guys are of a similar age, reminds me of the Pens in that way.

One could say this is the best time to get high value for both players. But if it's castoffs, picks and prospects, how does that help the Flames win now, considering the core of that team that's in place today?

I think it's realistically possible to trade Hanifin. Lindholm I can't see it. They need some cap relief and Joker could provide that. And he'd be a cheaper re-sign than Noah. Build a trade on that.

washedup would support ANY deal that leads to Rosen no longer being affiliated with the Sabres

IMO, and not just because I’m a Sabres fan, what Power did this year should earn him the Calder. Stepping into the NHL and playing top minutes like he did, ending up a plus player, 35 points, that’s impressive.
- lulags

Because he had more points Bernie sanders will win it.

Can't we just throw caution to the wind and get Weegar instead? Please?

So, back to your question of can Mitts be considered a 2C, it's a good discussion. There are arguments to be made on both sides.
Some GM's may view his past season as the breakout year and think they can "buy cheap" on him. Others may want to see more consistency before trading away a valuable asset before knowing what they are actually acquiring.
I would think that with the type of quality assets you mentioned, the latter would be more prevalent...but that is just my opinion.
