Confirmed Trade: [SJS/NJD] Mackenzie Blackwood for 2023 6th round pick

[Bizz]

Now what would it take for the Sharks to give Zetterlund back to us?

a 5th would suffice.

Zetterlund sucks.

 

[AvroArrow]

Man I remember when this guy was the next big thing, I thought for sure he was gonna be a #1 goalie for his career.

 

[herzausstein]

Wow i figured he just wasnt gonna be qualified. Pretty decent return

 

[Xirik]

a 5th would suffice.

Zetterlund sucks.

Deal!

 

[TheBeard]

a 5th would suffice.

Zetterlund sucks.

I'm glad you're not our GM

 

[HockeyVirus]

Seems like a steal for the Sharks

 

[Bizz]

I'm glad you're not our GM

a 5th for a player who had 3 points and was -10 in 20 games and looked like absolute trash? I'd take whatever I could get for him.

 

[Mafoofoo]

Zetterlund and Blackwood will be good players when it comes to helping the Sharks tank

 

[Ruutu Tootoo]

I’ll take him to the airport.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Wasn't getting qualified, Devils took whatever they could get.
Glad to see SJ fans have zero expectations for him, he can probably live up to that.

 

[yzerman]

I think Weekes mean Blackwood is washed out by the look of this video.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

A 6th is a decent return? It's basically no return.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

How many starting roles are there available for a guy like him? Is he even a top 30 G?

He probably won't start here either with Kahkonen here. They'd likely split the starts since neither are really starters at this stage.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

A 6th is a decent return? It's basically no return.

A lottery ticket is still better than him going unqualified and being left with nothing. What are we doing here?

Can't Argue with the Emperor!

Well you can but it won't end well for your head...

 

[Jerzey Devil]

Better to have goalie depth for the playoffs.

Thought about that after I hit Post Reply. They probably kept him because Schmid was a question mark at that point.

 

[bossram]

A 6th is a decent return? It's basically no return.

It's a pretty good return for a guy who wasn't going to get QO'd.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

A 6th is a decent return? It's basically no return.

He wasn't getting qualified that meant he was getting NJ exactly nothing. Getting any return for a player you're cutting lose in a few days is a decent return. It's not like anyone here is saying it's a great return or even good... Just decent.

 

[Grinner]

Grier. You da man

 

[MasterofGrond]

Mackenzie Blackwood has no value. He has less than no value. He is an active hindrance. He has been one of the worst nhl goalies for like 100 games.

If Grier had offered nothing, I would have still traded him to the sharks.

Getting a 6th is a coup.

 

[TheBeard]

a 5th for a player who had 3 points and was -10 in 20 games and looked like absolute trash? I'd take whatever I could get for him.

Imagine defining a 23 year old player who looked pretty solid for 60 games on a contender by what he does after being traded to perhaps the worst team in the league.

woah woah woah...,I have very high expectations that he is bad and continues to be bad or get worse. Just not the normal expectation in a trade

He can live up to all of your dreams.

super weird flex with the samsung washer/dryer. geeze

The worst thing about him is that he'll have 1 game every 4 or 5 where he looks like he did 3 years ago to make you think there's still something there.
