I'm not sure why it's a problem for folks to like a move to possibly increase team depth.
Mueller had a nice year in Europe last season...so the Blues are taking a low risk shot at him, and maybe he can contribute on the bottom two lines. Or, at worst, he'll be "thrown to the Wolves" in Chicago to help them and possibly come up here if there is an injury.

Being deeper and having more options within the organization is a very valid thing to be happy about. He has offensive talent. And who knows, maybe the Blues will get lucky and he's just a late bloomer who finally started to figure things out in Europe. Or maybe not...but you have to like the gamble here...not much to lose and a lot to possibly gain.

Mainly just trying to stir the drink, gents. I don't dislike the signing.

Curt-to answer your question honestly, there's nothing wrong with getting exciting over fill-out-the-roster/depth moves. I just think it's a little silly.

I kinda see where you are coming from...but depth is an important factor in making a long playoff run. This isn't a sexy signings by any means, but it could end up being a good/great deal if he builds off of his play in Europe and is able to contribute to this team.

Low risk, high reward signings are like playing nickel slots. You don't lose much, and you may end up winning a chunk if you get lucky. And they are fun to play.
