2C Solution

Created by: Matt1567
Team: 2023-24 Colorado Avalanche
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 16, 2024
Published: Feb. 16, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Not a fan of either team but both Mittelstadt and Byram have been mentioned in trade talks, wonder if a direct swap would benefit either side. Colorado need a 2C and Mittelstadt definetly could be that guy for them, while Byram is a young defenseman with tons of potential, but a scary injury history which hasn't helped him at all, and unless Toews leaves or they move Girard/Manson (which I don't see happening) then he's not got a spot in Colorado's top 4
Trades
COL
  1. Johnson, Erik ($1,625,000 retained)
  2. Mittelstadt, Casey
Additional Details:
*Not saying this is fair, but this is a rough idea, likely isn't this straightforward if it were to happen*
BUF
  1. Byram, Bowen
  2. Johansen, Ryan
Additional Details:
*Johansen doesn't have to go to Buffalo necessarily, but he'd have to go somewhere to make room for Mittelstadt's next contract*

Except it’s NOT a solution bc there is ZERO CHANCE that it happens

1- Sabres aren’t trading Mitts

2- Byram is a LEFTY- we need a RIGHTY

3- Mitts won’t even fit under the Avs Cap moving forward w his new contract anyways


This trade idea has been shot down on this site LITERALLY about 50xs (AT LEAST)

It’s ok to actually THINK before u post, just so ya know
Sorry to be harsh, but the trade works for NEITHER SIDE and is just absurd

Killing time on the toilet, Lol

And frankly, there’s a TON of stuff in this site that just has no chance of happening in real life
Obviously MANY don’t see that for some reason, even though much of it (like Mitts for Byram) can’t reasonably happen

1. I'm not a fan of either team so when I see a rumor that Mittelstadt might be available I assume it's somewhat true

2. Both power and dahlin are listed as LD/RD, obviously it'd be better to get a true RD but I'm sure one of them playing the right side would work

3. The avs have ~5.5 mil after making this deal, with the cap rumored to go up 3-4 mil, and only notable players that need contracts are Mittlestadt and Toews, it'd be tough to make it work but not impossible, if Landeskog comes back it looks nearly impossible to make it work.

4. I've never seen this trade before but I'm sure I'm not the 1st person to propose it

5. 99% of the posts on here won't happen IRL, but without them there's no point to have ACGM at all, but it's always fun to wonder "what if"

Sabres don’t like Lefties playing in the right side
And the Avs have LTIR players, notable Landeskog, coming back that they have to account for
Mitts absolutely doesn’t fit without other major moves

The rumor u heard was made up BS that’s already been squashed
It’s not happening- Sabres are not trading Mitts

Yes but it is a fantasy website, people can post the most ridiculous trades they want. Sometimes the best thing to do is not give it any attention at all (aka don't even justify it with a comment). Just my personal view

U were right
BUT
the situation changed

Mitts turned down Sabres contract offers & priced himself out of Buffalo, so we re-evaluated

Idk how the Avs are gonna fit Mitts next year though??
They’ve got their work cut out for themselves w the Cap
