-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 @CraigCustance A couple of interesting free agent options returning to NHL this year - Leo Komarov & Peter Mueller. Mueller led Swiss league in goals. They each played in Europe this season. Komarov had 12 goals and 34 points in 52 games. He could be an effective third or fourth line player that can agitate. Mueller scored 24 goals for Kloten tying him for the league lead and had 46 points in 49 games. That point total was good for third in the league.

TheRussianRocket. Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Mueller is a guy definitely worth looking at. Low-risk project signing for any team with anywhere from low-high reward. Could see Panthers or Islanders giving him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devoted Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Mueller has always interested me. He's big, he's a centre and he has some nice skills. Obvious red flag being his injury history. He could be a decent stop-gap after a Kesler trade until Horvat/2014 1st rounder are ready for top 6 minutes.. 2 years 3 million? Sedin Sedin Jensen Higgins Mueller Kassian Hansen Horvat Burrows Matthias Richardson Sestito Probably easier to just sign Santorelli... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see Panthers or Islanders giving him a chance. I don't see him going to the Panthers after he had a tough season there before he went Europe. The Panthers also weren't actively negotiating with him after his contract had expired. He needs a fresh somewhere else and I could see him going to a team in the Western Conference, maybe a team like the Flames? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Strome Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Mueller is a guy definitely worth looking at. Low-risk project signing for any team with anywhere from low-high reward. Could see Panthers or Islanders giving him a chance. The Panthers have already given him a chance. Islanders could be a possibility however.

zombieksa Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 What I like about about Mueller is he is a Righty. Henrik Santorelli Mueller Richardson That gives us 2 lefties and 2 righties.down the middle. along with matthais and schroeder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I was wondering if these players were coming back next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrible.dee Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Maybe Mueller can be Trev/Benn's "player who helps us now" That way we get maximum picks/prospects from our pending deals and don't have to worry about getting any established talent. Saves us money too, we lose a high end contract and replace it with prospects and and a one year deal. I always thought offensive players get a raw deal with the Coyotes, Turris and Mueller being the examples, If Turris can turn it around maybe Mueller can too?

"Bull" Horvat Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'd love a Thornton-Richardson-Komarov line season. Out with Kesler and Hansen, come Palmeiri on 3rd. Kassian on 2nd. Let Burrows stay on 1st for the RWs. Top 6 LW on 2nd, Higgins on 3rd. I'm honestly fine with Matthias filling the 2nd C void for the meantime. IF, & let's say if we do pick up Reinhart at TDD, let's not make the same decision as the Oilers and rush him like they did with RNH. Draisital is the only top centerman that's ready to play in the NHL if youaren't patient. Mueller is nice, but he'd definitely be less cheaper than Santorelli.

ilovewinona Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I've always liked Mueller and wouldn't mind him signing here for cheap. If he could stay healthy I see him as a 45-55 point scorer in the right environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I've been a fan of Mueller and was sad he left last year. He really has the potential to be a solid 2nd/3rd C if he gets his game together again. Hope he can stay healthy to prove that. The intriguing part is that he'll probably be signed to a 1- or 2-year deal for a very low amount now... Don't even get me started on Komarov. That would be a miniature dream-come-true if we would be smart enough to land him. I'm telling you, he's one of the best options for 3rd/4th line out there + he's a heart & should team guy and very respected amongst teammates.

Hugor Hill Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 So is komarov go back to toronto? Seems like a good guy but dont think we need any more third liners lol He plays 4th line in TO. Meaning he should* be depth here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
