26CornerBlitz Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 8 years is the max allowed, right? Get 'er done! Yep.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Anyone see highlights of Casey Middlestadt in the world showcase against Canada? Kid has unreal hands, and his feel for the game and patience seem to be off the charts.
Dr. Who Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 We got lucky the kid couldn't do a pull-up and apparently some GMs thought that meant bad at hockey.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 @amymoritz Casey Mittelstadt "can change a game at any moment and is showing leadership" with USA Hockey junior team. http://buffalonews.com/2017/08/03/casey-mittelstadt-bringing-offense-team-usa/

That twitter account I posted the link from actually has a number of good highlights from Mittelstadt from World Jr's. I really think (hope) we may have got the steal of the draft with this kid. His hands and speed are on another level. Just an all around great, highly skilled hockey player. Glad to see Buffalo putting more priority on skill over size and "grit"/toughness again. Here's another nice play. Those hands! https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/892848332225232896/photo/1 https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/891375641874059264 https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/891375359840718849/video/1 https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/891364854526865408/video/1 Edited August 3, 2017 by BillsFan4
Alaska Darin Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 The next time I see a pull up bar on an ice hockey rink will be the first time. Mittlestadt is the reverse "Mike Mamula". Kid is definitely a hockey player.

bbb Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Oh well. @SabresProspects We knew this could inevitably be the case - Casey Mittelstadt will sit today as USA takes on Finland. Luukkonen (FIN) will back up. #Sabres Why'd he sit? I thought that he was supposed to be playing great.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 5, 2017 Author Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Why'd he sit? I thought that he was supposed to be playing great. They likely wanted to look at other players with him already proving worthy of being on the US WJC team for the real tournament. Edited August 5, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz
bbb Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 They likely wanted to look at other players with him already proving worthy of being on the US WJC team for the real tournament. Got it - thanks.
BillsFan4 Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 I seen that Mittelstadt led the whole tournament in points. I also read some saying that they thought he was the best player in the tournament. Sounds like a great showing for CM... SabresFanatics @SabresFanatics Mittelstadt and USA beat Canada 7-5 and go underfeated in the #WJSS. Mittelstadt lead the tournament with 9 points in 5 games And one more highlight - https://mobile.twitter.com/SabresFanatics/status/893995204444909568/video/1
26CornerBlitz Posted August 6, 2017 Author Posted August 6, 2017 @BuffaloSabres "Anytime we can beat Canada, it will always be a big win." Mittelstadt contributes in 7-5 win for @usahockey https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/world-junior-summer-showcase-recap-august-5-2017/c-290602806

Tiberius Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 https://streamable.com/s/qyyzy/efxyqy 4 minute highlight reel of Mittelstadt from WJr's. This kid's ceiling is sky high. I checked out the rookie camp and he scored on an amazing in close up high shot. Great hands. This looks like a great pick so far
