Don’t know much about Mueller, but I was a big fan of Biega and his physicality on the back end for the wings this season. He plays really hard nosed hockey, especially for a smaller guy.

Well, Mueller looks like he could play a physical game at 6'3, 210+ pounds.

So that's something.

Really? I thought he was one of our worst guys on the blueline.

Pass. Wings have depth guys at LD in GR, and will likely try to give Cholowski another look. Mueller doesn't upgrade what they have and no longer has the "untapped potential" like a guy like fabbri did to drive a deal. If you want Biega, personally, offer a pick and he's yours.

I think he may have been trying to sell it if that’s the case

I’d rather trade them Butcher for pick(s).

He brings a bit of a mean edge which not many others bring on an otherwise very soft and brittle backend. Hopefully Mo can help add some more sandpaper on the backend within the next few seasons.

We are rebuilding too so can't really offer draft picks for d-man like Biega.

Yeah, but he is slow and out of position and overall just not good at anything else! Ericsson had edge too, doesn't mean I want him back.
