Mirco Mueller

[weastern bias]

Really impressed by his debut, and hope he keeps it up

Him and Burns made a sweet pair

Also, Mirco of Winterthur sounds like a character I'd make in Skyrim, and I like that

He hasn't played nearly enough pro games to give you any kind of definitive 'judgement' but I can tell you (in general) what I've seen from him through game 1 of the regular season.

He's an elite skater with an elite hockey IQ.

He has great gap control, really good at staying passing lanes, his positioning forces oncoming skaters to make decisions / plays before they want to.

He makes very smart short passes to escape pressure and help start the breakout but he's also able to use his skating to do the same.

He has great vision (which allows him to make those short passes), great feet and reads the game at a high end level at both ends of the ice. Hopefully these skills will also help push his offensive game along but he was pretty good at distributing the puck once he was in the offensive zone.

One thing he's improved on a lot is his physical game. He's also added some snarl to his game that I didn't see a lot of when I watched him when he was with Everett.

Thanks stalockrox!

Ofc its only one game, but nice to hear what he brings to the table at the moment, what he worked on and where he might end up. I hope that he stays in the team after 10 games, but what ever is best for him and the team. Good season sharkies!

#SJSharks have compared rookie Mueller to Vlasic, who agrees. "I told him last night, I said ‘You look like a young Marc-Edouard Vlasic.’ "

That's nice, but I want, expect more

 

[Celebrini]

No, he's a Suter and he'll like it

I remember when he was drafted, the expectation set was that the absolute best case scenario ceiling for mueller was Vlasic 2.0

Is such a thing... even possible?

That's because most wanted whatever forward the TSN big board was overhyping. He has every tool to be a top flight two way dman.

We wanted Anthony Mantha.

But I'm quite happy with Mueller.

 

[hohosaregood]

As I assume Mueller is gonna be something great, I'm glad that DW continues to pick underhyped kids. Coyle, Hertl, Nieto, Tierney, and Mueller are all showing something special right now.

Kind of weird that the Sharks hit on those guys since they're all 1st and 2nd round picks. That's an impressive run over the last 4 years.

Well they're smart players aside from being physically talented. Hockey sense is something you can't develop in most cases.

Yeah, I was just referring to the fact that the Sharks' track record in the 1st few rounds of the draft isn't great. So this group of 5 guys in 4 years is a welcome development.

I didn't realize he was from Winterthur until the game. I've actually been there!
Played in Winterthur with my band back in 2008 2009. I think that would've made Mirco about 14 years old hahahaha.

They may get a few later round gems out of this most recent draft too.

If close to that hit rate (even including Doherty and wrenn a few years back) would help the sharks to be one of the top drafting teams in the league- irregardless of drafting position.

If Goldobin hits his potential that will be a ridiculous run up to what will likely be the best draft in the past 12 years.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[SoftDumpInTheCorner]

Definitely a promising start to the young defenseman, you could see all the tools on display, he's definitely got to work on firing the puck to the net...

But that pump fake tho.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

My hesitance with picking Mueller was more on the organization and their history with d-men picked at his level. I also didn't particularly care for the sacrificing of a 2nd round pick for two spots. There was no guarantee that the teams in front were going to pick him.

[DonskoiDonscored]

After these last few years I'd immediately hope on board with almost anyone Tim Burke picks.

He's played one game. Calm down

(If you take this quote as me rooting against a player on our team, I swear....)

Nope, all aboard the Mirco train. Woo woo!

While true, to be fair, he played one game in the NHL when he really has no right to be NHL ready yet and did so extremely well. No matter how you look at it, he's already exceeded many expectations. So people should be excited, but yah let's not plan the parade yet, he's not that good.

You calm down! He's going to be the next coming of Orr/Lidstrom/Nieds!
