I don't know anything about him. Completely unranked as far as I can tell.
Elite Prospects Scouting Report
Skaters who score at the rate Ty Mueller has to this point in his two-season college career are almost exclusively draft picks.
It’s just that simple. You look at Mueller’s rank in raw and per-game offence, and he’s the lone exception in a sea of players who’ve either heard their name called or walked the stage at the NHL Draft.
That Mueller has managed to keep pace after battling injuries in his sophomore season on one of the more anemic offences in the country just makes it all that much more impressive.
A real jack-of-all-trades-type of player, Mueller brought a little bit of everything to the table for Nebraska. He’s a capable two-way forward, with good supporting instincts away from the puck, mostly sound reads with it, and sufficiently fleet of foot. There wasn’t any assignment that the 5-foot-11 centre wasn’t up to last season.
Still, most if not all of Mueller’s physical tools rate as firmly average. There were flashes of quickness and legitimate skill that offered hope for his projection as a skater and handler, but even then, nothing beyond a 5-grade.
There’s cause for some level of optimism as a distributor, too. Mueller often displayed intelligence and an ability to identify the best option with the puck on his stick, but a lack of pace or touch undid many of these plays.
Ultimately, one can do a lot worse with a late-round pick than Mueller, but there’s a reason he slipped through the cracks in the last two drafts. The lack of any separating skill or an easily identifiable profile makes his projection a fraught one.
