It's Blackwood's net until someone takes it from him. That being said, Schneider was historically bad the past 3 seasons, so now that they know they can ride Crawford a few games I expect a bigger split. I'd say 2:1 in favor of Blackwood.Is the plan to start Crow or Blackwood? I guess NJ might envision a 1a/1b scenario with Blackwood taking over the reigns when Crawford retires? I’m curious how much Crawford has left in the tank, I was surprised with how effective he was last season.

I’m a little eh on it being two years, but I’m pretty excited to have him.
He’s still been effective when on the ice.
Was a bit meh in 18-19, but was still much better than Cam Ward’s cremains behind the same team.
Crawford is a hell of a lot better than Cam Talbot, but is also a few years older, so that’s the only issue. I would say Crawford was probably the best we could have done on this market, outside of maybe Khudobin.
Two years maybe at very least because we have to expose a goalie to Seattle? Either way we might need him for playing that second season. No idea if any of the prospects will be ready, or even ever be good enough. Daws might be ready in a couple. Senn might be passable.I’m a little eh on it being two years, but I’m pretty excited to have him.

I forgot the expansion rules - you need either a goalie under contract or an RFA goalie to expose. It was going to be a challenge to get the second one. I think you have to be a bit wary if you are Crawford that you might be picked, as the Devils will likely not have a ton to expose.
Seattle will have the same chance (according to the rules) to build their team as Vegas did. The other teams might be wiser in handling it this time though. So they won't be awful.I forgot the expansion rules - you need either a goalie under contract or an RFA goalie to expose. It was going to be a challenge to get the second one.

Just a little more FitzmagicFitz doesn't miss
Doubt the Kraken are interested in picking a 36 year old goalie with 1 year to go to UFA, but I guess it's possible.
First Devil to wear #50, presumably.
Can our twitter please stop calling us "Jerz"
That's not a thing...
