Not for arguements sake but how do you percieve Jackman on this team? Fourth line scorer?

I would never perceive a 4th liner to be a scorer. I think the term "crash and bang winger" is the most accurate description. I expect hard work, hitting and creating energy from him, which he does. Any points are a bonus IMO. I would also put Comeau in that same category. The problem is not the Flames 4th line wingers, I think those 2 players have been decent for us in their respective roles. Unfortunately 4th line players are often made out to be scapegoats.
When it comes to hitting I would like to point out that Jackman has been credited with 41 hits in 13 games. He ranks 22nd among forwards for hits while playing fewer games than anyone ahead of him.
