Boston Bruins Acquire Casey Mittelstadt, William Zellers and 2025 Second-Round Draft Pick from Colorado Avalanche
BOSTON – Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, March 7, that the team has acquired forwards Casey Mittelstadt and William Zellers and a 2025 second-round draft pick from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forward Charlie Coyle and a 2026 fifth-round draft pick. Boston will receive whichever second-round draft pick Colorado currently owns that results in a lower placement in the draft order.
Mittelstadt (MIH-tuhl-stadt), 26, has appeared in 63 games with Colorado this season, recording 11 goals and 23 assists for 34 points. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound forward has skated in 420 career NHL games, with Colorado and Buffalo, totaling 77 goals and 153 assists for 230 points. The Eden Prairie, Minnesota native was originally selected by Buffalo in the first round (8th overall) of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
Zellers, 18, has appeared in 40 games with the Green Bay Gamblers (USHL) this season, totaling 37 goals and 21 assists for 58 points. The 5-foot-10, 169-pound forward currently ranks first in goals and game-winning goals (7) and second in points among USHL skaters. He is committed to play at the University of North Dakota for the 2025-26 season. The Maple Grove, Minnesota native was originally selected by Colorado in the third round (76th overall) of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.
Coyle, 33, has appeared in 64 games with Boston this season, recording 15 goals and seven assists for 22 points. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound forward has skated in 931 career NHL games with Boston and Minnesota, tallying 187 goals and 285 assists for 472 points. The East Weymouth, Massachusetts native was originally selected by San Jose in the first round (28th overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

The NHL trade deadline isn’t until Friday, but the Bruins made a move Tuesday.
Boston worked a deal with the Oilers and Devils that sent Trent Frederic and Max Jones to Edmonton. New Jersey was a third-party facilitator in the deal, retaining 25% of Frederic’s salary and acquiring a prospect. The B’s landed defenseman Max Wanner, the St. Louis Blues’ 2025 second-round pick and the Oilers’ 2026 fourth-round pick.
ESPN gave the Oilers a B+ for acquiring a player who adds forward depth and can be effective on the penalty kill. New Jersey got a B+ for the prospect it received, and the Bruins yielded an A- as the winner of the deal based on letter grades.
“That second-rounder they received should be upper-to-middle-range in the draft, given where the Blues are in the standings,” ESPN stated. “Boston didn’t have one of its own this season after trading it to Washington in 2023 in the Dmitry Orlov swap.
“Wanner is a 21-year-old, right-shooting defenseman who spent the past two seasons with the AHL Bakersfield Condors. He was buried on the Oilers’ depth chart, having struggled through a season that saw him miss time due to injury. Not a bad prospect for the Bruins to get into their pipeline.

“The Bruins also found a taker for the last year of that Jones contract ($1 million), which is a plus even though he was a minus in his seven games in Boston.”
Boston will still show fight in the final stretch of the season, but Tuesday’s trade showed the B’s are also keeping an eye toward the future.
