Blackwood is far from space junk when healthy. Our non-goalie second round picks have fizzled out like crazy too, so it's not like a skater is some guaranteed stud.Using a highish pick on one isn’t guaranteed to be an answer either, the last few goalies we’ve drafted in the second round or above are Ahonen, Damphousse, Jeff Frasee and Blackwood. Sad that Blackwood was clearly the best of them and he turned into space junk too lol
big russian goalie in the 2nd round…i love it
Ah you are correct. Not going to bu until 2025I may be wrong, someone else can confirm, but I think it's delayed enrollment and he's going back to the USHL for a year before going to BU
Is there rumours I haven’t seen yet or are you just excited at the thought?Oh man I'm gonna be pumped if we get Dillon. Been pushing his name on these boards since the start of the off season. We are gonna love him as a person and a player. Honestly such a good fit with this roster.
None of these kids are guarantees. If you see your guy available you take him. Goalies are fickle though so I see the hesitancy but we need to find a long term solution. To do that you need to draft them or you're paying a huge premium trade wise or cap wise as we just saw with Markstrom.Using a highish pick on one isn’t guaranteed to be an answer either, the last few goalies we’ve drafted in the second round or above are Ahonen, Damphousse, Jeff Frasee and Blackwood.
