The Blues Need A Barrett Jackman

Post by Red7 »

How good would a Barrett Jackman in his prime look on this Blues’ defense? Big, tough, physical guy with an edge. The Blues have that in Tucker, but definitely could use another. Is there a team out there with that type of defenseman who might like to get a bit more offensive that would swap for Faulk?

They need someone bigger and badder than Barrett.

Jackman topped 80 PIM 9 times in his career including years of 190 and 156. His last season in STL, he totaled 97. That’s a lot these days. He was plenty bad enough.

Blues need a Pronger not a Jackman.

They also need a Hull and an Adam Oates, but you’re not getting them for a Justin Faulk.

They ain't getting a Jackman for a Faulk neither.
The D should be in decent shape if Mailloux pans out.

They both have about the same foot speed. A big d-man is great but not if forwards can just blow around them

At least they’d have to go around them instead of just blowing THROUGH them.

What’s the difference? The guy is still gone.

Arber Xhekaj would be the guy I’d like to see in the Bluenote. Obviously a 6-7 type Dman who has averaged 14-15 minutes of TOI with Montreal, but he is a physical presence and a true heavyweight in the league.

If the Blues could have any defenseman from their past, I would prefer a Jaybo in his prime. A large size shut down defenseman who can cover a large area of the ice.

Would you prefer 6'4" 206 or 6'4" 212? Both can skate.

So we watched Patrick Kane go around Jackman for a decade and the league is even faster now so we need not 1 but 2 Jackmans?

this has to be a parody of the way to think about the defense. like, let's name precisely something unnecessary
