GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP)—The Phoenix Coyotes have traded the rights to forward Jared Staal to the Carolina Hurricanes for a fifth-round pick in the upcoming NHL draft.

Staal had 12 goals and 37 assists in 59 games for Sudbury of the Ontario Hockey League this season. The 19-year-old has three brothers in the NHL, including Eric, who plays for Carolina. Staal was a second-round pick by the Coyotes in 2008.

Phoenix now has five picks in the draft, which will be June 25-26 in Los Angeles.

Jordan Staal(notes) plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Marc Staal(notes) for the New York Rangers.

Pretty cool. Never shown that he can be an every day player in the NHL, but we have done well with our young talent, so maybe we can help him improve. I'm sure it's a great position for him to succeed being as his brother is here and can mentor him more closely.

Wow this is very cool, I remember when the Hurricanes were very interested in bringing Jordan Staal here. Jared Staal was actually projected to be the best out of all the brothers at one point, I have no problem with this move. Any interviews?

For a 5th round pick this is a great deal. I hope he pans out. And if he doesn't, it's not a big deal.

Now we just need to sign Jordan Staal in the offseason

We could just have a whole line of Staals.

Marc Staal isn't necessarily a bad one either. Let's just say that all the Staal's are bred for hockey.

Take Eric Staal's athleticism and puck control, combine with Jordan Staal's checking ability and accuracy with his shots. Then, combine all that with the power of Marc Staal's shot. You have the perfect player. Amazing.
