They need to harvest all the narrative power of two brothers winning a cup together to appease the hockey gods.

I don't know how anyone thought it wouldn't be Jordie given that it's a contract year for Jamie. They're going to send his brother to another team and expect to sign Jamie to something reasonable before next summer? No.

I don't know about you, but I like to think that the captain of my favorite NHL team is a grown ass man who doesn't need his brother around in order to sign a contract that will give him millions of dollars. It would be one thing if Jordie was even a decent player, but considering he's an AHL-level player who's been in the NHL for three years now due to his last name...

He's a decent third-pairing guy, that's all he is. Alright. That doesn't mean he belongs in the AHL.

(Frankly, I'd love for him to get off this team so that his haters can stop saying that he's only here because of his last name. Do you know who we also drafted before Jamie? James Neal's brother, who didn't make it.)

na

I'm not a Stars fan, but I saw it described as "his worst fault is being good enough for the NHL."

He could get those millions of dollars from other teams, though. Teams that *would* be willing to also have Jordie. It's not like he has to choose between Jordie and millions. It's tougher if he wants to go to a contender, but even then he'd probably have some options.

Jordie gets more scrutiny because of his last name. Is he a top pairing guy? No. But he is a serviceable third pairing guy who can play with just about anyone, even after long stretches up in the press box. He can be best described as consistently adequate. He's the kind of depth player that can be useful on most any team that isn't ridiculously deep on good defense. He's good to have around in case someone gets hurts, or when the youngsters start panicking and mentally fall apart.
