The 27-year-old strung together a decent 2015-16 campaign, notching 20 goals and 48 points in 82 games. The two-way forward plays very well at both ends of the ice and is more valuable to Carolina then he ever will be to fantasy owners. Although he plays a two-way game, Staal is still a dynamic goal scorer and one of the main weapons on the team's first power-play unit. The former Penguin netted a career-high six tallies with the man advantage last season, and benefited from the rise of elite power-play quarterback Justin Faulk. Staal has never surpassed 50 points in his career and will likely never be an elite point producer, but he's a solid 20-goal scorer who racks up decent PIM totals and plays special teams. Look for Staal to log heavy minutes and have another successful season on an interesting Carolina squad that has several young weapons on the rise.","seasonId":2017,"date":"Thu Sep 15"},"playerRater30DAY":3,"playerRater15DAY":1,"positionRank":53}
