26CornerBlitz Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 That is really a beautiful thing to watch. Question for the hockey experts...how much of that can he get away with as he moves up and players are all bigger, faster & stronger? Have you ever see Patrick Kane dangle at the NHL level? No reason why Mittelstadt can't do the same once he's developed and ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 That is really a beautiful thing to watch. Question for the hockey experts...how much of that can he get away with as he moves up and players are all bigger, faster & stronger?A little but not nearly as much. The real question is "how does he adapt after the first time he gets his clock cleaned?", because it's pretty much inevitable that it's going to happen. It pretty much wrecked Tim Connelly on an annual basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pretty much wrecked Tim Connelly on an annual basis. I'd say the better question is what can he do when the opposing team is actually trying. No one is going to even attempt to lay him out in a summer league game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is going to even attempt to lay him out in a summer league game. Yup, it's a great sign that he can do that. He is a special talent at this point. I saw him this summer in Buffalo and he scored a crazy goal in close that was impressive. He has the speed and hands, if he can take the physical punishment and still flourish we might have a great player here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guy's lace hovers over the airspace of the crease for a tenth of a second and unhinged neck tattoo gives up 4 goals in two minutes. Just cut him.
