Speculation: Barret Jackman, anyone?

[Squirrel in the Hole]

Saw today that St Louis is parting ways with Barret Jackman (no relation ).

I know he's a left-hand shot and 34, but I think he might be useful for a short-term here.

Good playmate for Kronner and brings a bit of sandpaper, kind of like Brad Stuart used to.

Good idea?

No thanks. Not the type of player I'm looking for.

I don't see anyone being shipped out, so I'd rather have room for 1 of the prospects.

If we acquire a TOP4 defenceman and Ericsson is pusHed to 3rd pair duties, That's exactly same Jackman would offer on the table.

Trade Ericsson and then sign Jackman, maybe.

Right. But I sure as hell don't want both.

 

[InjuredChoker]

dear god, no.

he got exposed on bottom pair against minny. slow, stupid and can't move the puck. we have those already.

 

[Shaman464]

Aging D-man who has lost a step? Sounds like a plan. Can they give him a NTC as well?

 

[RedWingsForPresident]

Not the right player/timing for Detroit to get him. Holland would probably give him 5 years and a NMC

 

[GoAwayDanCleary]

Yuck.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

I'd rather keep Ericsson.

 

[Kronwalled55]

A handful years ago I would have jumped on this, but I don't think he's much of an improvement on this current team.

 

[Hobnobs]

Yea lets get a scrub who loses his temper in vital moments. Exactly what we need.

 

[19 for president]

Jackman always struck me as not being a very smart player. Gritty sand paper type, but Stuart he is not.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

He produces alittle bit better then Ericsson

if we could sign him as a Free agent i'd do it. But we dont really have the room.

 

[minitrucker83]

As a wings fan who lives in St Louis....PLEASE NO, my buddies would never let me live it down. Ive bashed on Jackman as a player for many years lol.

 

[RedWingzz]

No thanks, he's not fast enough. I'd rather give Marchenko a permanent roster spot.

 

[alfbundy]

No thanks...

I'm still mad he won the Calder over Zetterberg.

Your joking, You have to be, He only got 19 points and like 3 goals. Z got 40 and 20 goals, And I dont even think he played on the top six.
