Eric Staal is a name that should be familiar to the majority of Carolina Hurricanes fans. He served as captain, remains the team’s all-time leading scorer, and is the pride of the 2003 NHL draft among skaters. There is a strong argument to be made with Eric regarding his status as a Hall of Fame player. Does he belong in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto or is the Hurricanes legend not quite cut out for it?
Eric Staal played 1293 NHL games and had 441 goals and 593 assists for 1034 points in the National Hockey League over a 17-year career with five different organizations.
