Value of: Blackwood to the Leafs

[Hockey 4 Life]

Nobody’s trolling. Stop overrating an average prospect. I will never forget the Robertson > Caufield threads. The same ol blue hool aid being consumed!

Your completely ignorant about Robertson and yet your arrogance in regards to what your stating is immense. Hes a very good prospect who is developing well in the AHL. Hes also not soft, hes a smaller player but hes shown hes willing to get into dirty areas and take hits to make plays.

Robertson is small, cant skate, and is injury-prone. He hasnt shown anything at the NHL level. He's not close to the same value as Knies. He's a lottery ticket at this point.

Completely clueless. His skating has improved a lot and is no longer a weakness. Hes 20 years old and is progressing very well in the AHL.

Yah ok coach. He's a jag. Not NHL caliber.

Are the Devils looking to move anyone that could potentially be included in a Blackwood deal if they were to move him to Tor?

Reports were they were willing to move Zacha and their 1st this year in some combination before it was 2OA for a top 3 winger to play with Hughes. Lots of people think the 2OA is off the table now but it could still be in play for the right winger I suppose.

the issue is you can get the right winger in the draft a #2 if it were 12th, or 15th, or 22 2nd overall that would be one thing.

but at #2 you can find that guy because he's #2 he's ready to go

Another one who hasn't watched the kid play. Hes a very good prospect doing very well in the AHL, this should have been his AHL rookie season but covid allowed for him to play last year.

I try to but he always gets injured. Lets revisit when he manages to get a full NHL year in.

Except they don't always work out immediately. Holtz was suppose to be that winger when they drafted him. He still might be but they are looking to make the playoffs next season so they don't want to wait for him to develop. Ask the Rangers about 2OA wingers not developing into point a game wingers. There is no Patrick Laine at 2OA this year.

good talk.

Not much else to cover really.

If I'm the Leafs, I'm not comfortable with Blackwood. Can't they go with Husso or something? There's gotta be other options.
