Confirmed with Link: Canucks Sign Ty Mueller (C) to 3-Year ELC

Well, this is unexpected. He seemed like a dead lock to finish out his 4 years.
I really don't have a grasp on him as a prospect at all other than seeing a few highlights here and there.

i JUST posted in the other thread i really hope the canucks get mueller signed. he's such a polished player. i wouldn't be surprised if he's in the canucks lineup as early as next winter
Canucks have a pretty decent pipeline of potential bottom-6 forwards: Podkolzin, Bains, Raty, Sasson, and hopefully Mueller.

Hope they can get him to Abbotsford to start playing some games. Dave Hall really likes him, says he’s got a high motor and good hands.
Yeah but we need some overpaid bottom 6 vets in there to show em grit, leadership and balls

Not anything special, but a guy you hope can be a cheap bottom six option for a few years before leaving to make $$ in FA as a team overpays for his leadership and motor.
Bookmarking this post and will revisit in summer 2031
Raty has played a lot of wing this year so I'm not exactly sure where that will land.

Go Hawks!
Sasson might be able to carve out a bottom 6 center role....but C is a bit of an organizational problem it would seem. Don't know much about Mueller, at all, but he doesn't seem to have the numbers to indicate a top 6 player, but will be curious if his motor will be enough to advance his game at the pro level.

Sasson profiles as a centre. Him and Mueller occupy the same spot as NCAA centers that get buy on hard work, intelligence, and good enough skating to profile as 4th line centres. Sasson is two years older, more offensive acumen, and size, however.
He’s almost more of a winger at this point. Doesn’t have the extra gear at the AHL level to be a full time center and that doesn’t bode well moving up. Has NHL traits and profiles as a good low-event even-strength player that will get most his points on the 2nd unit PP. He’ll probably do that at wing in the NHL, though.

I guess you have to trust the Canucks amateur scouts on this one. He was a late draft as a 20-year old last year....So I guess they've seen some major improvement since his first draft-eligible year as an 18-year old playing in the AJHL.
Hockey DB lists him at 5'11, 195, so he's a stocky center......but as a 4th round pick (105th overall), about all you can probably hope for is that he becomes a useful guy in Abbotsford.

The only other 'Mueller' I can remember was 'Peter', who was an eighth overall pick by the Phoenix Coyotes in 2006 after a WHL career in Everett. He lasted three years in the Desert and then was picked up by the Avalanche for two more years; and finished his NHL career in Florida.
He's now 35, but has carved out quite a career in Europe in Switzerland, Austria and six seasons in the Czech Extra-League. And played last year in Denmark.
