The Carolina Hurricanes are looking for their next Captain. All signs are pointing to Assistant Captain, Jordan Staal. Yes ladies and gentlemen, the younger brother of former Captain Eric Staal. When Jordan was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes, I wasn’t a hockey fan. However, I do have opinions on the trade that announcers STILL mention every time the Carolina Hurricanes play his former team. When I heard who was traded in the infamous Jordan Staal trade, and where he came from I did my research. A little hockey history lesson for those of you who don’t know.
Jordan Staal was traded from the Pittsburgh Penguins on June 22, 2012, which coincidently was the NHL draft day.
