The Colorado Avalanche have found their solution for the second-line center position with Casey Mittelstadt, who joins the team ahead of the 2024-25 season. His arrival comes after the team struggled to fill this role since Nazem Kadri's departure.

Star player Nathan MacKinnon believes Mittelstadt has immense potential, and his recent performance has impressed teammates. With a new contract and a clear role, Mittelstadt is expected to be a key player as the Avalanche aim for another Stanley Cup run.
