-Vintage Canuck- Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Quote One other player Oates may work with is Peter Mueller, who is pursuing an NHL comeback for next season. Mueller, who played 297 games with Phoenix, Colorado and Florida, spent the last three years in Europe after concussions derailed his North American career. “He’s been haunted by that injury,” agent Darryl Wolski said Monday. “When we first mentioned his name, the response was, ‘Doesn’t he have concussion issues?’” Wolski says that’s no longer the case. How much interest is there? “The word I’d use is there’s a curiosity about him. It might take time, but we’ll be patient and see how it plays out.” Mueller will be 28 in two weeks, a prime age to give it a shot.

Ossi Vaananen Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I wanted him before he signed in Florida. I still remember the 07' WJC wherein he and Kane were the ones taking multiple shootout attempts vs. Toews and Canada. I don't know now.. he's been passed around a bunch and this year's stats in the Swiss league are less than impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 He's not gonna be coming here, but it'd be kinda neat to see him catch on somewhere. Carolina maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baer. Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 If he's coming back I'd assume he's want to be on a playoff team. Washington looks like the best fit in my eyes but not sure if that's possible. Maybe Chicago if he takes a pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Doesn't the last NHL team that he played for own his rights? IE, would they get compensation if he signs elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 has decent size. Had a very good rookie year. Worth a camp invite at the very least or a 2 way deal for depth in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saucypass Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Good old Peter Mueller... had so much potential and became another prospect the Coyotes ruined. Luckily, Coyote prospects are not rushed like they were back then. Edit: Not to mention this guy was made of glass, could never stay healthy.

Jack Fig Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Mueller's concussion problems started in Everett when Lucic hit him from behind into he glass. I saw it ... not a nice hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go from being a star in your home country to being a nobody in a minor league. He has had good seasons in previous years, I'm sure scouts are aware of him, and there's probably a reason he won't come over. Whether it be the ice size, money, family, etc. Not everybody wants to play in the NHL. Tough to understand from our culture's standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I forgot all about this guy. Essentially, this would be his 2nd NHL comeback attempt after missing one entire season with injuries. I really don't know who would be interested, maybe if it were an expansion year he may get a sniff or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
