History
Jared is the last of the four Staal brothers to be eligible for the NHL Entry Draft. After being drafted by his older brother Marc's Sudbury Wolves team in the first round of the 2006 OHL Priority Draft, Jared joined the team in the fall of 2006. Not given much ice time his rookie season, Staal was not a big contributor to the Wolves last season.
2007-08: Staal was on a low scoring OHL team this season, and he ranked second in total points (49 points in 60 games). He participated in the CHL Top Prospects Game, scoring a goal for his team, and was selected to play in the OHL All-Star Classic.
Talent Analysis
Despite a similar frame to his older brothers, Staal's skill level is not quite as developed. He is tough along the boards and knows how to play a very physical game, however, he will need to improve his skating and puck handling to make it as an NHL winger.
Future
Will return to Sudbury.
