Clearly, the Montreal Canadiens are adapting to the trade market, particularly for the much-discussed second-line center position that is still "vacant," so here's another intriguing opportunity.

Casey Mittelstadt would make a good second-line center for Martin St-Louis, at least while waiting for a certain Michael Hage.
Casey Mittelstadt, aged 26, is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound center who was the 8th overall pick by the Buffalo Sabres in 2017.
Over the past three seasons, he has produced at rates of 40 points, 58 points, and 59 games (per 82-game pace).
Personally, especially knowing that the price to pay clearly won't be huge, I would absolutely take a shot with Mittelstadt.
Is he better than Kirby Dach? Absolutely.
