Every pens fan is going to come on here saying he was the right pick, second line center on other teams, just hasn't broken out yet, kesler2.0, etc., despite staal being simply a great third line center.
Jordan Staal is 22 years old.
He is a 2nd line center.
I am a Canucks fan so if you want to compare him to Kesler.
At age 22, Ryan Kesler had 18 goals and 26 assists in 158 NHL games. Im not knocking Kesler here either, he is probably my favourite player in the league.
Jordan has 94 goals and 99 assists and a big shiny ring at age 22.
I think Pittsburgh is pretty happy with their pick.
