Playing career
Müller played for the Kloten Flyers organization between 2010 and 2012, mostly playing at junior level. During the 2011–12 season, Müller played seven games in the National League A.
Müller was selected 11th overall by the Everett Silvertips in the 2012 CHL import draft. "Over the last few years, a couple Swiss players played in North America and they told me how high the playing level is there and I’ve always been interested to play in another country, so I was very happy to be picked by Everett," said Müller.
Müller was selected in the first round, 18th overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, and on 22 September 2013, he signed a three-year, entry-level deal with the Sharks, and returned to Everett. He did not play any exhibition games with the Sharks in 2013 due to an injury.
International play
Müller played with Team Switzerland in the 2013 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Ufa, Russia. Ahead of the tournament, Müller said "I'm looking forward to playing against the best players in junior hockey, especially the Canadians, Americans, Swedes and the other top nations. It's in a new country that I've never been to before and I'm excited to see what it's like over there."
