I'm guessing the Coyotes didn't plan to sign him anyway and decided to get what they could.

hao chi · 05-13-2010, 03:41 PM

I always forget we drafted that guy.

Kaizen · 05-13-2010, 03:43 PM

Cut your losses - classic asset management, aside from drafting the guy in the first place.

PHX FireBirds18 · 05-13-2010, 05:17 PM

Watching Staal play kind of makes me wish I stuck with Hockey. If a guy like that can get drafted, why couldn't I have done it.

Glad we were able to get something for this guy, but wasn't he supposed to be a 4-5 year project anyways?

Probably because you don't have three brothers who play in the NHL, which is the only reason Jared got drafted.

Jared Cowen 2010 · 05-13-2010, 05:30 PM

What round was he drafted in? And he's a Stall, how could he not get drafted.

RemoAZ · 05-13-2010, 05:38 PM

I thought I read he had good numbers last year?

RemoAZ · 05-13-2010, 05:40 PM

Staal, 19, recorded 12-37-49 and 57 penalty minutes (PIM) in 59 games for Sudbury of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) this season. The forward was originally drafted by the Coyotes in the second round (49th overall) of the 2008 Entry Draft.

Would be nice to know why this was done.

I guess you never saw him play...

Because he hasn't shown any progression in the last three years. A 19 year old in the OHL who put up the numbers he did in his first two years should have taken a huge step this year, instead he did nothing.

Plus, he had to be signed soon or he would have re-entered the draft, obviously Maloney didn't think he was worth a 3-year commitment. Might as well get something for him.

RemoAZ · 05-13-2010, 06:10 PM

Damn, his bros are so freaking good.

mouser · 05-13-2010, 06:22 PM

That answers the question whether we were going to sign him before his rights expired next month.

rabbit3119 · 05-13-2010, 06:35 PM

12 goals as a forward in your 3rd or 4th year in the OHL is not anything special

LOL and the only reason he still has trade value. Not happy about using the second with him, but very happy we were able to relay him for anything of value. Maloney the asset management king does it again.

untouchable21 · 05-13-2010, 09:37 PM

Good riddance and Good Luck Jared, you're going to need it even if your brother Eric is Carolina's FRANCHISE player.

Not like he was going to crack to Coyotes line-up anytime soon anyways. He will struggle in the AHL.

Because you played unselfish hockey and chose to pass before shooting, even though you could score from about any angle on the ice, is my guess.

I never really understood why we drafted him besides the name on the back of the jersey. From my really basic understanding, he was nothing really special to begin with, and I guess my thoughts are verified after reading the posts above. Best of luck to him!

FYI - The Hurricanes just signed Staal to a 3 year entry level contract.

Alberta Yote · 05-14-2010, 11:27 AM

Now if Maloney can just get a 5th for Gistedt...

A course he signed that's why the trade was make.
If he didn't sign he would've re-entered the Draft.

There was never any guarantee that he would sign.

Naych_PHX · 05-14-2010, 03:59 PM

True, but would you rather sign with the team where your big brother is captain.... or go back into the draft?

FutureGM97 · 05-14-2010, 06:07 PM

Wasnt a huge fan of the draft pick originally. But it is what it is. Hopeully Chris Brown or Tikhonov can become that big power forward that the Yotes wanted Staal to be.

Everyone knows why the deal was made. However, when you're in my position reporting on the story I can only go with what facts that are given to me.

I'm banking on Chris Brown on becoming a Malone-esque player for the Coyotes... He has the tools.
