Jordan Staal vs Eric Staal

[LD29]

Is it finally time to admit that Jordan Staal is the better Staal?

Erik Staal hasn't aged well. He went from an elite 1C to a barely 2C within just 1 year, while Jordan Staal still is a solid 2C.

Finally time to admit for the first time?

Is it also finally time to admit that it's September 21st, 2019?

As much as I disliked Grandlund, I think Fiala is even worse. Also, Parise is ageing. Zucker has always been overrated. Jordan gets to play with better players at his 2C position and Haula won't ever steal his 2C spot.

 

[jetsforever]

I agree that Jordan has aged better but Eric started much better so his decline has brought him down to around Jordan's level.

What about them?

Never mind Jared who got lots opportunies and couldn't make it still. He tried.
If Marc is still with the NYR, then he's the only one of them who played for the same team all along. Rarely missing a game.

Marc is nonetheless far from the best Staal.

what year is it

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Eric just finished with 76 points in 2018. That's better than Jordan's ever done in his entire career, IIRC.

Don’t be surprised to see Jordan put up close to career numbers this year, assuming he spends most of it with Svechnikov and Teravainen. Last year that trio tore up the league down the stretch as Teravainen made the step up to become an extremely solid 200 ft player capable of driving play from the wing.

If he can stay healthy, Staal just needs to be a bulldozer in the opposition’s zone to make room for Svechnikov and Teravainen to work their magic.

I know this doesn’t exactly pertain to the topic of brother v brother, but it’s been so long that the Canes have served us up anything to look forward to, so I am not used to showing restraint in my excitement about the team.

 

[tarheelhockey]

As a Canes fan, Eric has easily been the better player for the totality of their careers.

That doesn’t make Jordan bad. But you’re comparing him to a 100-point scorer who was a 1C for a decade.

Given the 5-year difference in age, I don’t see that it’s very meaningful to compare them at this specific point in time.

 

[NHL WAR]

An argument could be made that Jordan is Eric's equal now, but career wise they aren't even in the same ballpark.

Jordan's career so far (through age 30): GP:893 G:217 A:293 P:510

Eric through age 30: GP:846 G:312 A:430 P:742

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

How is this even a conversation? Eric has always been the best Staal brother.

Now, if you want to include cousins then it’s definitely Kim.

 

[Seanaconda]

this would have been a better post when he sucked on the rangers. erik has been pretty good since he went to the wild and jordan was injured for a bunch of last year.

 

[thrillhous]

Eric just finished with 76 points in 2018. That's better than Jordan's ever done in his entire career, IIRC.

By far. Jordan’s career high is a whopping 50 points.

 

[Regal]

Maybe if Eric stays around or below last year's numbers, but he still scored more last year than Jordan ever has and had a 42 goal season the year before.

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Don’t be surprised to see Jordan put up close to career numbers this year

As we've heard every year for his entire career. Still waiting for that untapped offensive potential we kept hearing about in Pittsburgh.

 

[Jee]

what ? how can anyone even debate that jordan was/is better than eric ?

 

[robbieberns]

As we've heard every year for his entire career. Still waiting for that untapped offensive potential we kept hearing about in Pittsburgh.

For 90% of his Carolina career he’s played with high end talent like Nathan Gerbe, Patrick Dwyer, Andrej Nestrasil, and Joakim Nordstrom. I should also reiterate that I believe the uptick in production will exclusively come down to line mates and this being the deepest Canes team he’s played on in a long shot. Anyone is going to put up better numbers when they start centering two game breaking talents instead of the likes of Drayson Bowman and Zach Boychuk.

Eric Staal >>> Erik Staal

Looking at their careers as a whole, this is a hilarious beat down
