Reaching two decades in the league, the Hurricanes' captain is still one of the best defensive forwards in the game as he hunts down an elusive Selke Trophy.
There are few in the league like the Carolina Hurricanes' captain. Jordan Staal is not going to light the scoreboard on fire every night, like Connor McDavid or Auston Matthews, and he's not an up-and-coming star, like Nick Suzuki. However, he's just as important to the fabric and identity of the Hurricanes, making him one of the team's most valuable players.
