No PLEASE NO. As a Kings fan, I veto this inquiry by KingsHockey24.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

The RHD is of interest.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Why?

 

[Eggtimer]

Why?

Why not

Just because you said this LA is now offering Clarke, Byfield, and this years 1st for Blackwood.

Throw petersen and quick into that deal and I’ll think about it

You also have Quick and Cal Peterson

Devils aren't trading Blackwood without getting a goalie back I reckon. LA doesn't make sense unless it's a 3 way deal.

LA does make sense if the Devils can trade another goalie before this trade. It doesn't have to be a 3 way deal, those can be a separate deals.

The problem is that the Devils would want defensive dman who has potential to be a top 4 dman. Faber is out of reach, so I don't know who that could be. I think Fitzgerald would like to get a right-handed Siegenthaler, who can play with Luke Hughes in the future.

Is Blackwood that much of an upgrade on Peterson?

 

[ManofSteel55]

Why not

Because Quick and Petersen. That's why. Why trade for Blackwood to be a 3rd string goalie?

 

[ManofSteel55]

I doubt it. Peterson hasn't been as good as last year, but has still been far better than Blackwood was this year. I suppose the Kings might do it if they are regretting the Peterson contract extension and desperately want out of it.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

why would LA want him? Don't they already have 2 decent goalies in Quick and Peterson?
I don't think he's much of an upgrade over either, if at all

 

[FlyguyOX]

I'd trade a 3rd for Blackwood. Might be worth the risk

if you make faber available, you have a deal with me.

goalie for goalie most likely won't work, if you don't want to settle for a worse one.

a team trading for blackwood wants him to upgrade the position. if you are not married to blackwood, you trade him for the best possible return and try to find another goaltender via trade or the fa market.

I mean I agree, which is why I think Blackwood is very likely not going anywhere and all ill feelings get smoothed over for another year.

that's where my head is at.
Only way it makes sense from a Kings POV to me is if the devils are adding to Blackwood for Petersen, but the flip side is why would the devils pay for maybe a slight upgrade.

Chicken thigh

Not a chance Farber would be available.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Chicken thigh

...as good an answer as any.

I reckon MacKenzie Blackwood barely has the value of the draft pick he was chosen at. The goalie New Jersey 'gets back' is better off being the one they get in free agency.

There's only 3 guys in FA you can say that about IRC: Kuemper, Campbell, and Husso. it's very risky to trade Blackwood at the draft betting on one of those three being available and willing to sign in NJ. Devils also need two NHL goalies then if they send away Blackwood, can they get two of those? no chance.

I believe they keep Blackwood AND try to sign one of those three. Additionally they will try and trade their 2nd at the draft for a G to play with Blackwood. I can't see them shipping off Blackwood and putting themselves in a deeper hole betting on FA / a trade.
