Jared Staal to start with the Checkers


Recommended Posts

Jared Staal, the last of four hockey-playing Staal brothers still needs some work before he is NHL ready.

Staal was a acquired in a deal with Phoenix last season and will start the 2010-11 campaign in Charlotte, the Hurricanes' new AHL affiliate. Jared needs to add some speed and muscle to his game before he will be a legitimate candidate for the Canes' roster. Even when he does arrive in the NHL, his upside is limited as he does not have the scoring knack of either Eric or Jordan.

Yea he certainly doesn't. But he is only 19 (I think). He has some room to grow both mentally and physically before he can be considered for the 'Canes roster. He will most likely turn into a more defensive-minded forward if he ever gets called up.

I don't think that was neccessary comment by the News and Observer though. I hope Jared see's this and works his @ss of to prove them wrong.

Yea, they definitely shouldn't have said that, but it certainly is the case. He likely only got drafted because he is a Staal. He clearly isn't a poor player, but I'd be surprised to see the 'Canes call him up at all.

lol the only Staal with anything close to a scoring knack is Eric. Jordan is a much better defensive forward than he is a scorer.

Whatever, I can't wait to go see Jared play this winter.

Yea, I agree I wouldn't say Jordan has a scoring knack, but he is definitely a threat. Especially since he is a premiere penalty kill guy. He is without a doubt more of a defensive forward than anything, but he is still a threat to score on occasion.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
