Barrett Jackman May Be A Fit For The Chicago Blackhawks

Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch held an online chat today...

Do you think that the Blackhawks and Joel Quennville will have any interest in signing Barrett Jackman? It seemed that the hawks did have some concerns about their defense.

Honestly, I think Jackman makes a ton of sense in Chicago. He's exactly what they need, a veteran guy who's willing to play in the third pair and not cost a ton of money. His relationships with Quenneville and Kitchen would make this move even more obvious. I know Chicago has cap issues going into next season and maybe they can't pay $3 million for a third-pair guy, but if they can figure that out, it makes a lot of sense and I would almost be surprised if it doesn't happen. For the record, I asked Jackman about this and he said it would be VERY hard to put that jersey on.
