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.

      BREAKiNG NEWS: Panthers interested in trading for Trey Hendrickson

      By frankw · Posted

      Dugger would cost $23.5 million in dead money if they cut him. Sounds like a trade is the only option. I'm more concerned about LB at this point.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      I am not the one pitching a fit, frank. Again, I don't agree with this notion that Dalton is some washed up scrub. He is one of the better backup QB's in the NFL. Despite that....he isn't gonna walk in there and start rattling off wins. Jesus....what backup QB in the NFL right now is?? We. Stink.  A competent backup exists to not immediately sink the ship if he has to play for a few games. Dalton is capable of that. Losing games slightly better or worse than Bryce.  If you want competition for Bryce, WTF are you bitching at all of us for? You think we are David Tepper, Dan Morgan, etc? I don't have any control over the ignorant poo they do.  Sure, it would be great to have invested some resources in a young QB but you also have to be realistic about this roster. It still sucks. We have holes in every possible direction, our depth is a fuging joke and our starters are about as bad. It's genuinely a luxury to be taking a young QB anywhere either than day 3, especially with how weak some of the recent QB drafts have been. And we all know that those day 3 QB's are probably less likely to pan out that some special teams caliber OL/DL/DB/etc.  I don't blame them for not spamming pick after pick at QB because they already have a massive investment in Bryce. That's the fuging business part of the NFL, like it or not. If it doesn't pan out this year, I fully expect a pivot and given track record, I am quite sure it will fail spectacularly as it has almost a dozen fuging times since Cam's arm got nuked.  Welcome to Panthers Nation, buddy.

      I really hope we keep all 4 + 7 WRs. I like Blackshear, but Etienne has shown that he's more than capable as a returner and RB3. Idk if he's still PS eligible, but that'd be a dub if he could still be stashed.
