That was definitely a head scratcher for sure as Jackman was having a poor season. I could see a one year deal but two years for a player of this type IMO is silly.
He reminds me a little of Comeau in that you can't fault him for his effort and there is a small place for guys like him in the NHL but both of them were put in roles they should never been placed in like Comeau on 1st and 2nd line and Jackman playing with Hudler and Monahan. If they were handled properly by the coaches there would have been a lot less fan disdain for them at times.
