Would you undo the Casey Mittelstadt for Bo Byram trade?
Casey Mittelstadt is back in Buffalo for the first time since being traded back in the spring for Bowen Byram. Looking back on the deal, did it end up working out for the Sabres? Would Sabres fans undo the deal if they could? Sneaky Joe evaluates Bo Byram’s play this season and the need the Sabres still haven’t filled since Mittelstadt vacated their top-six.
Plus, JJ Peterka’s scoring drought is starting to get pretty concerning.

Annunen isnt on COL anymore….
Wedgewood got traded.
yes
They replaced the offense of Victor Jeff & Casey with 4th liners
I think a top 4 defenseman is more impactful and harder to find than a 2nd line center. I would not undo that deal.
No but I would have liked to see skinny play differently with Lindy’s as coach.
No I would not redo the trade. I think our. Sabres are better off with Bowen Byram. Kevyn Adams needs to spend some of the cap and bring in some experienced forwards in the last year of a contract. Really spend towards the top of the cap. And look for forwards that will help our young players develop and bring a couple of young ones up, maybe Wahlberg and Kozak and let the players like Quinn and Cozens sit out some games and learn that if you don't perform you don't play even if you wear a letter. They need to really push and sacrifice to win games. I have been a fan since inception, my dad coached Jim Schoenfeld when he was in Midget in Cambridge (Galt) Ontario. He would go through a wall to win, and these guys need to look in the mirror. I am passionate about the Sabres and want to see the days of old when that Memorial Auditorium rocked when they played. Thanks for being real Joe.
Back again, I would not give up on Cozens, hasn't been the same since his fight with Garnet Hathaway. I think his struggles are more mental than his abilities. But the Sabres should bring someone in to play the second line center and maybe throw Cozens on the wing.
No, wouldn’t undo the trade. I like Mittlestadt, just wasn’t a good fit. Got too comfy playing fortnight rooming with Dahlin. No upper strength, can’t win in the corners, couldn’t do a pull up at combine. I’ve never met someone that couldn’t do a single pull up
You could have got that trade done and not traded Casey
I am losing my religion in Kevin Adams after the REM trade.
To fill the void at center with the trade to Colorado they traded a prospect to Edmonton. So the Sabres traded Mitilstadt & a high end prospect for Byram & McLeod.
I like the trade for Bo Byram. Middlestadt is back to not scoring again for the Avs after starting hot.
In a word, YES.
We miss MITTS because of Cozens and Quinn doing shit to help us. Mitts was so versatile for us.
no
Nope, if it were up to me I would have added a top 6 forward during the off-season.
I’d rather undo Terry pegula owning the Sabres, he’s screwed them over for 13 years and doesn’t even feel like he gives one shit at all
Let's call Vancouver and see what the ask is for JT MILLER.
It's 7:28 & Joe's already lost another parlay. 43 straight losses.
I know it's not the best stat but -15 plus minus for Mitts, Yikes!
Yes. Buffalo’s defensive pairings make less sense with Byram. The Sabres have a hole in the Top 6 as well.
Make some trades now….what a disaster this Colorado Gane is!!!. Sabres collapse at its finest
How about we trade power for a 2025 6th round pick
Bigget collapse of the 2024 season so far. Well done sabres!
What a train wreck last night! As soon as Clifton handed that puck on the wall to the Avs turning into Goal 1, I knew that lead would disintegrate. They knew it too as the Avs started moving their feet and Buffalo looked like they were in quicksand. No question anymore that they are unconditioned mentally and PHYSICALLY. Who is their trainer and nutritionist these days? Questionable based on their play!
Seriously hes the last of your worries. Hes been one of the best players this year
If you kept mitts then Clifton would be on your top four defense. Let that sink in 😂😂😂
Avalanche fan here. The Byram/Middlestadt trade was good for both teams. We miss Bo, but with a top-line D pairing of Makar/Towes, Byram wouldn't have gotten the chance that he deserved in Colorado.
When we traded Stadts last season I flipped my lid. So dumb. Too little too late. We needed that trade to come the year before when we were lighting up the scoreboard but couldn't stop a puck. But NOOOOooOOOOooo! We wait til Stadts is the leading scorer on a team with great netminding but issues scoring. Dumb! Why does this team seem to trade its talent right before they turn a corner in their career? All the development work we put into them and then we let them go.
Casey wouldn't….😊
