Casey Mittlestadt looks like he’ll be the highest-drafted Minnesotan since Erik Johnson went first overall in 2006. There are a lot of things about Mittlestadt to attract interest from the teams, and he’ll go early-ish in the first round, but his poor showing in regards to strength during the combine cannot be helping him. He failed to do even one pullup and completed only a single rep on the bench. His response has basically been to explain that he has focused on his skills and that while strength is nice, being able to do pullups doesn’t make him a great hockey player.
