According to ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun, the Boston Bruins have signed former first-round pick Peter Mueller to a professional tryout offer (PTO).
After being selected with the eighth overall selection in The 2006 NHL Entry Draft, Mueller has had a disappointing career. Despite his projections to be a top-six, offensive force who had the size to be a physical entity on the ice, injuries limited Mueller’s production over his career. Across a five-year NHL career (including the lockout-shortened 2013-14 season) Mueller played in 297 of a possible 376 games. In that time, he scored 63 goals and 160 points.
