Fantasy Summary

A jack-of-all-trades type forward. Brings a good two-way game, with a touch of offensive potential.


Observations

September 2025 – The 22 year old Mueller took to AHL hockey well, putting up 41 points in 67 games (12 goals and 29 assists) and seeing 10 of those on the powerplay.

Billed as a 200 foot player who can contribute in all areas of the ice, Mueller showed as a rookie that he is capable of building on the offense he should with the University of Nebraska-Omaha in the NCAA.

Mueller likely isn’t in a position to carve out a meaningful role with Vancouver at the NHL level yet, but he will return to the Abbotsford Canucks to gain more experience and build on the solid rookie campaign he put forth last season.

Mueller is worth watchlisting in deeper leagues, as he did get a two-game look in 2024-2025, it’s likely that he will get a second audition if he plays well in the minors this year. Alex Wyatt

January 2025 – After three years at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, Mueller has seamlessly transitioned to professional hockey. In 32 games, he leads the team with 19 points. In addition, he’s done a bit of everything so far. Mueller is on the power play and penalty kill, and plays well in all three zones. He is also a strong offensive generator for Abbotsford, as he’s registered at least one shot in all but four games this season. Unfortunately, Mueller left the team’s game on January 10 with an injury and hasn’t played since. He’s listed as day-to-day, so it’s unknown exactly how long he’ll be out. Mueller likely won’t be in the NHL this year, so it’ll be important to see how he returns after injury. Nick Orr

June 2023 – Coming in as a re-entered 20-year-old, Mueller is fresh off of a sophomore year with the University of Nebraska-Omaha, where he posted 25 points (12G + 13) over 34 games. Given his 0.66 clip at the Collegiate level thus far, the Canucks felt it was worth the gamble, selecting him at 105th overall (fourth round). The Alberta native brings a touch of everything to the table, and considered to be a capable two-way forward willing to stick his neck on the line and a hint of offensive potential. For now, he is considered depth within the organization, but could provide a solid tool-kit for the club’s affiliated baby club, with hopes to work his way to a bottom-six NHL role player. Dave Hall
