Profile Contributed By: Glen Erickson
History
2006-07: A shifty product from Stockholm, Sweden, Moller made a huge impression in his rookie campaign in the WHL. Chosen in the import draft by general manager Darrell May on the advice of high performance skating instructor Steve Serdachny of Edmonton, Moller delivered a consistent offensive performance for an expansion team that earned a playoff berth in its first season. Moller scored 32 goals and 69 points in 68 games. He was named player of the game for Team White at the Top Prospects game and is sure to be a fixture for Team Sweden at the next two WJC's.

Talent Analysis
Moller responded well to the rigors and physical play of the WHL, due in part to his on-ice vision and anticipation. As captain of the U18 World Junior Championship for Team Sweden in 2007, Moller has shown the competitive nature, grit and leadership expected from someone relied upon by an entire team. He is a solid two-way player and can be characterized as a “heart and soul” type with a tremendous shot.
Future
Moller still has two years of eligibility in the WHL and will use them both. He projects as a gritty two-way forward that usually fits well as a compliment on the second line or as a high-energy leader on the third line.
