St. Louis Blues Need Barret Jackman Back In There
The St. Louis Blues early results in 2018-19 have been disappointing due to a lack of defense. What is just as odd is the realization that a player we were all glad was gone is just what the team needs now.
Bring back Barret Jackman. Those are words I never thought I would ever say, being as, at the end of his career here, I was one of the St. Louis Blues fans glad that Jackman was gone.
I was never quite on the hate bandwagon. I felt Jackman was always just a player that came about at the wrong time. He would have been much better suited to the NHL that existed when he was a rookie. The rule changes that immediately followed changed how defenders could play and changed his entire future.
