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.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
