Is there a third Staal brother?

[habsprospects]

I just saw a player named Jordon Staal born 1988 with the Peterborough Petes and he's from the same city has Eric & Marc Staal, Thunder Bay, ONT

Yes, he is in next years draft and is expected to be a 1st round pick like his brothers.

There is a 4th one too.....

 

[HughJass*]

And he might be the most talented.

I believe there is 4 brothers could be wrong though, their dad built them a proper rink (with boards and lights) for them too practise on. According to the hype Jordan could be the best of the bunch

So is Jordan projected to be a top 5 pick? If he's supposively the best, and Eric was taken 2nd overall, I'd assume he'd be a lock for top 5.

Some say he is a lock for a top 5...way to early though..all I know is Kessel and Frolik are locks for the top 3.

The Staals actually live in a small township just outside of Thunder Bay called Murillo. Their dad was a decent player himself. Played hockey at Lakehead University. I believe the 4th brother's name is Jared. He is currently playing Midget hockey in Thunder Bay.

Eric Staal
Marc Staal
Jordan Staal
Jared Staal

4 good hockey players

The Rangers should try and draft Jordan, and then even Jared for the heck of it. That way, when Eric becomes a UFA (5 years until he's eligible), there'd be a good chance he'd sign with them. It's be pretty badass to have a team with 4 brothers on it.

A very poor man's Sutter Brothers of the modern era?

Poor man's??? They might all be top 15 picks.

At this point the Rangers have 1, and the Hurricanes have 1. The Hurricanes have the player considered to be more of a "franchise" player, and yet you have Eric leaving this team to go join his brother on the Rangers instead of the other way around?

Pretty much, except the Staal's are good.

 

[damoose212001]

Only 4? What about the other 26 teams? Jeez, hehe...

It's NYC vs. Raleigh, North Carolina. Think about it.

So will this year be his OHL draft year?

 

[habsprospects]

going that way, make them play with Jeff Heerema

This is Jordan's NHL draft year, as well as Jared's draft year to the OHL.

Jordan was drafted in 2004, he already played one year in OHL and if it's was Jared's draft year, he didn't get drafted by an OHL team


while writting about the Staal, I start thinking that Saku Koivu is 11 years older then his brother Mikko, I think it's a lot, it's like the difference between me I my younger uncle on the side of my mother,
it's long having a kid 10 year after the first

In the 2003 draft preview of THN, there was an article on Eric Staal that mentioned his brothers and suggested that the youngest (Jared) may be the best of the bunch.

Are you sure it was Jared? I thought I remembered it being Jordan. Jordan has been getting hype for a while, he's a huge kid with tons of talent. I'm high on him being a top 5 pick next year. It will be interesting to see how he does at the U18's this month.

Marc, 16, was recently selected second overall in the Ontario League draft by the Sudbury Wolves; Jordan, 14, plays Bantam AAA for the Thunder Bay Kings; and 12-year-old Jared, if you believe those who have seen him play, might be the best of the Staal boys. (Keep in mind some people said the same thing about Keith and Brent Gretzky.)

Thanks, I stand corrected. Should be interesting to see how his career develops over the next few years.

No problem, I only remembered it because I read the issue last week before the draft.
