Word is leaking out that the Phoenix Coyotes are not happy with the development of forward Peter Mueller and are shopping him around prior to the upcoming trade deadline. This being the case, the Wild should make an effort to see how much Phoenix is looking for in return. Mueller, 21, would appear to be regressing after his rookie campaign. 2007-08 ~ 22 goals, 32 assists in 82 games (0.66 ppg)
2008-09 ~ 13 goals, 23 assists in 72 games (0.50 ppg)
2009-10 ~ 4 goals, 12 assists in 53 games (0.30 ppg)
Often times a young, promising player just needs a change of scenery in order to rediscover the path to hockey greatness. Mueller, an upcoming RFA, was the 8th overall pick in the 2006 Entry Draft and clearly has talent. If I were Wild GM Chuck Fletcher I'd offer the Coyotes someone like Kyle Brodziak and a 2nd round pick to see if they'd bite. Give up a first rounder for Mueller? Probably not, without getting more in return.
