After spending time with the Vancouver Canucks organization (who acquired him via waivers), Staios was selected by the Atlanta Thrashers in the 1999 NHL Expansion Draft where he changed his position to right wing. He was eventually named the team captain, before signing as a free agent with his current team, the Edmonton Oilers, in 2001. In the 2002–03 NHL season, he led all defenceman in shorthanded goals (3).
