Some news out of St. Louis today, as Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the Blues will not be re-signing pending unrestricted free agent Barret Jackman.
With the Calgary Flames likely attempting to upgrade their defensive group over the summer, would the 34-year-old left-shooting Jackman be a fit in the Stampede City?
The short answer is "maybe, and it depends what happens with Ladislav Smid."
At this stage of the game, Jackman is a steady, stay-at-home defender. You wouldn't call him fleet of foot, but he uses his 6'0", 200 lbs frame efficiently.
