My question for today: Is Jordan Staal underrated?
I say, yes. Pierre McGuire said during a Penguins game on NBC in reference to Staal not putting up a ton of points that you can't always equate scoring with success.
I always use that example, but it's fitting for Staal. He was never supposed to be a 40-goal scorer. That's not his game.
He is one of the top defensive forwards in the NHL, a Selke finalist last year, kills penalties and he can put the puck in the net during key games.
Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals in 2009 would be a good example.
Please give me your opinions, gentlemen. Oh, and ladies are welcome, too.
