With the NHL Draft set to begin later tonight, let’s take a look back at the season of Mirco Mueller, who was drafted 18th overall back in 2013 by the San Jose Sharks. The former first-round pick struggled in acclimating to the NHL game along with battling multiple injuries in his first campaign with the Sharks.
Mueller began the season with San Jose after making the opening night roster out of training camp. He featured prominently in the early going, appearing in 21 of the Sharks first 24 games, and often played opposite of Brent Burns.
