Player A is Vinny Lecavalier. Player B is Joe Thornton. Is Staal really that far off?
It's kind of ridiculous when people look at a 20-year-old and act as if he is a finished product. 95% of players his age are, at the very best, in their first year of professional hockey. Many others are still in college or juniors. Staal already has a 29-goal season under his belt. And, before anyone discounts it -- IT HAPPENED. It proves he can...he just needs to develop into that type of player consistently.

Are you kidding me, have you been watching the last couple of offseasons. Someone would have thrown a 5-7 year deal at him worth at least 5 million a year, maybe more.

However, he could definitely turn into a Keith Primeau type player.

i dunno...those numbers look pretty far off. and i wouldn't even use those guys as a comparison. apples and oranges style-wise.

Exactly.
No matter how old he is he does not warrant a 4 year 16 million dollar contract with the way he is currently playing/did play so far in three seasons.
