Regarding Mirco, if he was paired with Ryan Murray (2nd overall pick in 2012), how much of his performance could have been attributed to benefitting from Murray's performance? I fear that Murray made him look good.
Murray was out with a shoulder injury last season so MM was their #1 dman.
Murray only played 23 games last year and at no point was ever 100% healthy. I'm sure playing next to Murray helped when he was in the line up but it was never a matter of Murray carrying Mueller.
Haha.. also, I could have sworn that I saw the TSN graphics list Vlasic as "Player most comparable to" when the Sharks picked him (Mueller).
A little more on Galimov. Receintly interviewed he says he will spend next year with Locomotiv then there's a good chance he'll come to NA. Says he models his game after Valeri Kamensky.
