Barret Jackman had quite the roller coaster career. He will officially end it on October 4 and will do so as a St. Louis Blue.
There has been no word of any ceremonial contracts or special circumstances. He will have his press conference at the Scottrade Center though, which is fitting since it was home for 13 of his 14 NHL seasons.
Jackman became the perennial whipping boy of fans looking for a scapegoat toward the end of his time in St. Louis. I won’t hide the fact even I wanted him gone by the end.
