He has a Swiss name so it should be Müller. but u guys doesn´t understand german.... :lol
I know how it's pronounced in German, but that wasn't my question. He's not from Switzerland, so I'm not concerned with how they pronounce it. I'm wondering how it's pronounced correctly.

There are no umlauts in English, so it's Mueller.

Id put money on him ending up at Michigan.

He is from Wisconsin but he may want to leave home.
Depends, North Dakota is known more to develop players and get them ready for the NHL, Kessel will have to choose between home anda great development system.

Hopefully he ends up with Wisconsin.

Robbie Earl and Phil Kessel would be a deadly combination.

he has already left home to play for the US U-18 squad, which just happens to play in ann arbor. so he is currently experiencing what living there would be like if he is a wolverine.

north dakota isn't one of the schools he is reportedly looking at...kessel has denied that the list has been narrowed down cause he doesn't want to say anything until he makes the decision but rumor is it is between michigan, minnesota and wisconsin.

If I didn't want people to think I am whoever Stockwizard is, I wouldn't have picked a name so close to his.

i know people were laughing at the thought of kessel being compared to crosby, but this article does it blatantly. is this what people were talking about? i was going to start a thread about this, but figured id get flamed for another kessel thread.

saying that he would be "our crosby" (meaning usa hockey) is not the same as saying he is as good as crosby...

crosby is not only viewed as the top canadian but also has become sort of the face of canadian hockey in a way, and kessel could be the same for usa hockey

it was said in a way and crosby's name was dropped to make people think that kessel is just as good to build hype for kessel and usa hockey as a whole...but if you look at it in terms of kessel could be to usa hockey what crosby is to canadian hockey it isn't that big a stretch

the "stockbroker" guy is like a serial killer that leaves clues to find him, pride gets in the way, the real pros maintain their cover throughout their act.

thats what i thought about it myself. i just thought it was funny an article mentioned the two together a night after people were laughing about it here. kessel has looked awesome, but my viewing of crosby has been limited to last years gold medal game, wasnt much to see. im sure crosby is everything people make of him, i wish americans could see him more. as an american im pretty pumped to see good hockey players from anywhere and everywhere, i dont really care what country they play for.

I just realised most Americans have never seen Crosby play. Even on T.V.
That must be frustrating.

I hope the U.S. will get to play Canada at this year's WJC, so Crosby will be there for all to see.
