Recent rumors have suggested that Colorado Avalanche center Casey Mittelstadt could be on the trading block. This made me wonder: what if Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams decided to try to bring back the organization’s eighth-overall pick from 2017?

Casey Mittelstadt reportedly on the trade block amid struggles. Could he be heading to the San Jose Sharks in a major deal?
