Like Bickell, I see Stalberg as a guy with only ONE asset plus "potential", that turns some Scouts or Coaches on...For Bickell, it is size and potential, for Stalberg, it is SPEED and potential...Neither has good hands for finishing, neither really backchecks with consistency, neither really demonstrate "hockey smarts" or anticipation of plays...and Both got to Q's doghouse, during their Blackhawk tenures...
It is "buyer beware" for both these guys...the ONE ex-Blackhawk, that is on the market that I would try to acquire, is Frolik, a UFA, has been a scorer in the past, has good wheels, has good attitude, excellent on the PK, seems willing to adapt to team needs role, has been well liked by teammates.
