Leon Muggli's Player Profile

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 3rd: "Playing in 42 games in Switzerland’s top pro league is not exactly a common occurrence for a U18 Swiss defenseman. Nor is putting up 12 points in that league. At the same age, Roman Josi had eight points in 35 games. So Muggli is in some unique company. He’s a competent defender, plays a mature game and can get involved in the physical game when he needs to. "

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "Muggli's got good comfort under pressure and will move his feet to beat the first layer. He's got good hands. He’s confident skating pucks and defending with his feet. His skating is balanced and controlled and showed more pull-away later in the year."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "Offensively, Muggli has decent skill and vision. He makes plays and shows good poise with the puck. I don't think offense is what he will be known for, but he can get a few points in the NHL. I see a potential depth defenseman."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 28th: "Muggli had a solid year in the top Swiss league. There were points at the World Juniors where Muggli was outmatched by drafted competition, but I felt like he got better as the tournament wore on and he wasn’t worried about making mistakes – allowing him to play to his strengths."

Seth Ditchfield - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 20th: "He’s a highly mobile and intelligent defender who thrives under pressure. Muggli uses his intelligence along with his stickwork, balance, and agility to manage more physically intimidating opponents. Although he’s much more conservative offensively, his adept passing and situational awareness enable him to generate plays effectively, almost as if he has an aerial view of the ice."
