Who were positives?
That will (eventually) be in the Worcester thread.

Sharks with Mueller in the lineup: 0 GA total
Sharks without Mueller in the lineup: 5 GA per game
Correlation = Causation!
Start first three games of the 2015 playoffs against the Kings without Mueller. Lose all three.
Start Mueller in the next four games, four straight shutouts, Sharks win 4-3. Balance to the force restored, NBC mentions Kings huge collapse in every game the next season.
Can anyone clarify if the deadline to send eligible players back to junior after their first 9 NHL games, or after their team's first 9?
I'm no CBA expert, but I was wondering if the coaching staff screwed themselves out of a free tryout game or not with the healthy scratch
9 games for the player, not the team so the coaches aren't screwing Mueller. It involves the contract sliding, not the player returning to junior.Can anyone clarify if the deadline to send eligible players back to junior after their first 9 NHL games, or after their team's first 9?

/\ Thanks folks
I knew it was a deadline for pushing the ELC, I just worded it very poorly
Good to know we are getting our share of looks at him this year, but based on last night he probably sticks anyway
I really hope they're trying to showcase Irwin, but don't want to pair him with rookie Mueller (who's still better than him and Hannan).

That is the only thing that makes any sense. Otherwise why not send him down and let him play? Being in the press box and watching is only advantageous for a game or two.
Mueller can't be sent anywhere. He's too young to play in the AHL, and he's already played too many games to be sent back to junior.

Possibly DW is stuck in a void where Mueller can't be sent "down" but lacks the experience to play well every night. Confidence is a factor.
Catch-22.
I thought he could still get sent to the CHL, it would just be a waste of his first ELC year.

I think they're keeping him fresh. He's not used to playing this much. I would be blown away if Müller could last the whole season anyway. Just look at what happened to Nieto in the middle part of last season.

Mirco Mueller, by the way, has been a healthy scratch last three games. He’s not hurt #SJSharks
