Gut feeling its the latter, but hope I'm wrong.
Huge surprise

If you actually truly believe this, I don't know what to tell you
the MAIN reason for the Mueller trade is because he is a young promising LHD that Shero and Castron think can blossom here. and we need LHD. period, end of story.
It's not like Nico is fresh off the plane from Switzerland and doesn't speak English. The fact that Mueller is Swiss is just an added bonus. The main reason he was brought in was because he's a young LHD and the left side of our defense after Greene sucks.
Just because Nico speaks English doesn't mean he won't need help adjusting in other ways to American culture. Either way, soon we will see how much Mueller can contribute to our defense and just how promising he actually is. If he doesn't do well, I'm sure you and others will be embracing my theory by November.
so we're giving Mueller 3 weeks until we judge him? good to know.
I just can't believe someone would think Shero would trade a 2nd and a 3rd round pick for a guy just because hes Swiss. Yet here we are.
Mueller was a buy low opportunity that came along and Shero took it. I don't think he was going out purposely looking to trade for a Swiss player just because we were going to draft a Swiss player. Do you also think we drafted Bastian just because he's McLeod's buddy?

I think a first overall pick is more valuable than a twelfth overall pick. I wouldn't compare Nico to McLeod. I expect that a franchise will accommodate a first overall pick more than a twelfth overall pick. But I'm sure the fact that Bastian had chemistry (on and off the ice) helps make the Bastian pick more attractive.
If Shero wanted to bring in a nanny for Hischier, he would've signed Streit, for peanuts.
He acquired Mueller for no other reason then to bolster our left side with a up and coming kid who's got the skill set to blossom into a legit top #4 role.
The second Mueller has a rough couple of games this board will not be good.
You guys act like we didn't get a top 6 forward in Mojo for basically peanuts.
So focused on the negative.
That's pretty much true of any player having a rough couple of games around here. I'm already preparing for a certain somebody to question picking Nico if/when Patrick gets off to a better start than Nico.

Vegas is going to have to unload at least 2 defencemen before the season starts. Anyone they have we'd be interested in?
Promising? That is highly debatable.
The only ones that I would want to go after are the ones that Vegas wouldn't want to part with. Theodore and Schmidt. One of them would help the left side. I'd be cool with Miller as well, but the right side to me looks okay with Severson and Santini, and Miller being added would push Santini out of a spot because of Hynes' love for Lovejoy.
Ya. I'm not even sure there's anyone there I'd snatch off of waivers for free, unless someone gets hurt in camp.
Detroit's another target, but again, noone looks particularly interesting. I mean, I'd take Green just for the possibility of turning him for a draft pick at the deadline, but I wouldn't pay a lot for him.
