No evidence of him having actually played with either of the top level teams ( HC Moscow Dynamo or Winnipeg Jets) mentioned. As a matter of fact, www.NHL.com specifically lists 0 games played for him. Since he is 40+ years old now, I doubt any of this will ever change. John from Idegon ( talk) 13:12, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. He definitely did not play for the Jets (was only drafted by them), but Muller did play with Moscow Dynamo:

- Keep - playing for Dynamo Moscow [2] meets criterion 1 of WP:NHOCKEY. Rlendog ( talk) 15:39, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep – Nomination fails WP:BEFORE. Subject played 18 years of professional hockey, including play in the “Russia - International Hockey League (1992–96)”, to specifically meet criteria #1 of WP:NHOCKEY. External links now added to the article provide required verification. This article needs to be expanded, not deleted. Dolovis ( talk) 15:40, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

- Keep. Meets WP:NHOCKEY. SW3 5DL ( talk) 16:35, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- Strong Keep: I agree wholeheartedly with Dolovis -- it doesn't seem as if the most cursory of checks was attempted before this nomination was made. We have this article as well [3], and I'm sure I can find more the moment I hit the town library; Muller played a season in Springfield when I was a season ticket holder there, and there was some press regarding the fact that he was one of the first (or the first) North American players to play for the Russian league. I expect that German-language news sources could turn up as well for Muller's time in the Bundesliga. Ravenswing 18:28, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- Keep as above meets NHOCKEY. – Davey2010 • (talk) 22:04, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- Withdraw Now that a reference has been found showing him actually playing for the Dynamo (which yes I searched but did not find. Found several mentions of him being "on" their roster, but that is not the same as playing.), I am more than happy to withdraw this. John from Idegon ( talk) 23:56, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
