Amazing work Fitz!

 

[OlfactoryHughes]

with the amount of value we seem to pull from 6th rounders this has some major "revisit in 5yrs" potential. happy to have anything in return

Too bad it didn't work out, good place for Blackwood to re-establish his NHL career.

Our GM is the greatest GM who ever existed.

I'll not be taking rebuttals at this time

 

[Normal Devil]

It was beyond time for him to go. Probably should have been shipped two years ago.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Zetterlund… so close, so close

 

[tailfins]

f*** why couldn't we get something else back

I'm confused. We basically traded UFA rights for a 6th. We weren't qualifying Blackwood, and I don't think SJ will be either (or they shouldn't be).

UFA rights for a 6th seems pretty good?

(ah - if you wanted Zetterlund...yeah)

Blackwood is an RFA. Don't think many teams were looking to take on what would be his next contract.

6th is the sweet spot for us. Looking forward to drafting our next Bratt with the pick

Last domino to fall before the Hellebuyck trade

he's an RFA, isn't he? i'm assuming they'll qualify and use, so i figured maybe we'd get more. but injuries and his QO make it understandable

AHL depth would've been cool in addition to the 6th, i mean god damn we gave em a nice mukhamadullin

 

[Cheddabombs]

Wow a free 6th from thin air! You love to see it

Devils weren’t going to qualify Blackwood so getting anything back was good.

A 6th round pick is worth so little that this is a decent enough gamble by SJ to see if they can reset Blackwood’s career.

Imo, Devils were not likely to qualify him which would have made him a UFA.

Vaya con dios, Blackie

 

[Darkauron]

Thank god ill never have to see this dumbassholeshit of a human being ever again

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

If y'all haven't seen Office Space (the movie in reference to the GIF above) do yourself a favor. It is a classic.

Any asset for Blackwood is a steal. Even a free pretzel at the Rock is good value.
