He's a skilled center-men that would definitely lift some of the scoring burden off of the Sedins. Concussion history or not if we could pick this guy up for cheap it would really benefit us. I hope GMMG is looking that-a-way.

This isn't some garbage project grinder like Pahlsson or Booth. Mueller has serious skills and was only set back by injuries. Think of him like a younger Samuelsson. He's only 25 as well.

A younger version of Samuelsson? We could use that right now.

By the look of it, he's had a solid season over there. Young, cheap player with skill and still some upside. That has MG signing all over it.

I'd give him a shot on the cheap, one year deal. If he looks great, we have an asset potentially at the deadline if the rest of the team sucks. If he isn't, bury him in utica and say 'gave him a shot'.

Not as good a player as Kesler, or Higgins really (lacking the physical side of the game); but possibly / probably a fair bit more talented with the puck. Passing for sure, the dangle and juke. An upgrade on Schroeder or Dalpe, a guy who can make plays!

If I recall correctly he played mostly wing for Florida and also for Colorado. I wanted him more than once when he was available UFA. Happy to have a crack now!

We need some pure talent players. Teams like Detroit are full of them.
