His qualifying offer would have been only 1.8M which the Panthers decided was too much.
Of course team needs play a part but if there's a team out there that was willing today to give Mueller more than the 1.8M, you would think Florida would have tried trading him for a 7th rounder.
We'll have to wait and how the dust settles after UFA frenzy and teams have to settle for players like Mueller but I can't imagine him getting north of 2M on a multiyear contract.
How's he at wing though? I still think of Mueller as a center, but seems like the Flames have a logjam at centers that aren't good enough to be in the top 6, or at least shouldn't be. I do realize he's been playing wing a lot though too.
I don't know, for a warm bodies there's worse options but with his concussion issues there's probably better options as well.
