Definitely not a 1st rounder by any means and I would be shocked if he went then. http://nyhockeyrivalry.blogspot.com/ Staal should be a 3rd round pick but because of his name he’ll probably go 2nd round.

But when you have three of four brothers either at or near stardom, you've got a safe bet there the fourth is going to be an NHLer at the very least. I'd say this situation is less like Lemieux, Gretzky and Hossa and more like the Sutter and Stastny Bros. As for your drafting philosophy, I have two words for you: PAVEL BRENDL. PJH - I've NEVER heard of a team trading for, much less drafting someone to draw their brother as a free agent. People used to say the only reason Marcel Hossa was here was to land his brother. See how well that worked out? My ideal draft for the Rangers is they move some of their assets(pick any one of Prucha, Moore, Sjostrom plus the second round pick) for a high-second round draft. They get Carlson with their first pick and Staal with their second. But in reality, I'd be bowled over if they got Staal, even though I think he'll be a sleeper in this class; I have a feeling someone in the first is going to take a chance on him. Good pick, definitely worthy of the 25th and up, but not quite worth the 20th pick. czechthemout – “Bloodlines” don’t make a rat’s ass difference.

The odds of him panning out are probably better than many first rounders. I think just the fact that he is a Staal makes him more of a sure bet than someone you might draft earlier in the draft.

He said he developing into a power forward type. If his name wasn't Stall he is not so sure anyone would be talking about him at all.
