He's a top 10 goaltender.
Hellebuyck
Rask
Vasilevskiy
Price
Gibson
Kuemper
Hart
Bishop
Andersen
Binnington
are all locked in as the top 10 goalies right now. Markstrom, Lehner and a few others are right on the outside looking in.
Blackwood is not a top 10 goalie entering next season, who the hell knows what the future may bring and it is a pointless exercise to try and project which goalies will come and go.
Yes. Blackwood is the better goalie.So you’d rather have Blackwood over Hart this year?
I don't think it's that outrageous of a claim. Next year is a different question and we will cross that bridge when we get there.So you’d rather have Blackwood over Hart this year?
Sample size is too small, Hart has proved he is in the top half of goaltenders in the NHL now.Certainly seems to be playing well vs Hart who got pulled although we played like trash. We should get plenty of action between the two
georgiev? is georgiev the starter of the rangers?Definitely looks like he has great potential to be a top 10 goaltender in the league for 5+ years. Probably one of the favorite in the league to do so. Will that actually happen? Who knows. Goalies are so unpredictable right now. I'd probably say there are only a few goalies in the league I'd bet on still being starters in 3 years.
Hellebuyck and Vasilevskiy might be the only locks. Then you have Gibson, Samsonov, and Markstrom. I'd put Blackwood in with the next group that includes guys like Hart, Merzlikiens, Korpisalo, Georgiev, Binnington etc... guys that clearly have the talent, but just haven't played enough games to establish themselves as long term #1 guys. These third tier is all great, but has more uncertainty.
Not sure about the vets, in Rask and Price. They'll be 36 in 3 years.
well blackwood for his career didn't lose a single nhl po game - yet.But he has won playoff games, can Blackwood? If your going to use that argument then every single goalie could be scrutinized for that. Would Rask be Rask on the devils? He’d be good but elite as he is now? You can only go off of performance in a way, I’ll take that tiny margin Blackwood has over Hart for regular season games knowing he can absolutely set up for the playoffs and is younger.
georgiev? is georgiev the starter of the rangers?
but only after he signed long term after his bridge is up.Big Mac should fire his agent.
Interesting stat I saw on Twitter:
But how?? Carter Hart has won the playoff series, is better than Mackenzie Blackwood.Yes. Blackwood is the better goalie.

Lol Hart is not better than Blackwood. Bringing up winning a playoff series is not a good argument since Blackwoods team wasn’t there because the devils couldn’t win jack when he wasn’t playing, so their record suffered greatly when he wasn’t between the pipes for them.
you compare their actual stats from the regular season and take into account that hart has a better team in front of him, they post similar stats, with Blackwood having the slightly better save percentage. And when you look at advanced stats for goaltending, Blackwood is in the top in quite a lot of them, a lot of the time from 1-3 or at worst in the top 10.
Get back to me when Blackwood proves himself to be a winner.Carter Hart won a playoff series? I thought the Philadelphia Flyers won it. Really, Hart did it all by himself and no one else was involved?
