Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 No to PDB. Been there done that. But I had to choose between and Rough, I’m taking PDB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Lock up @MB3, these moves may mean there's a Mackenzie on the loose. Edited April 20, 2022 by mfitz804 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Good on Fitz for giving Okhotiuk a shot at the end of the season. I look forward to Dano mutilating that name over the next few games. Glad Daws is also back with Utica. Hopefully he can see out the season on a high and get that playoff experience. I don't care if Blackwood is back at this stage , go with Hammond or Gillies , who gives a fvck. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, if we wind up keeping him or we wind up trading him, its to our benefit if he 1) is healthy and 2) plays well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Interesting note on Severson… he now has 51 career goals, meaning only Niedermayer, Stevens, and Driver have more goals for a Devils defenseman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty surprised to hear that. First guy that came to mind was Rafalski, who only had 45. I was surprised to see (or to recall) that Rafalski never had a double digit goal total in any season. As prolific as he was offensively, it was all assists. In fact, he only had two double digit goal totals in Detroit (10 and 13) in his entire career. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans04 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Regarding Blackwood we have 6 games left in which he maybe gets 3-4 at the most if everything goes well. All it may prove is that he can possibly get through those games. I don't think it ups his trade value any and I don't think it proves he's good enough to be counted on next season regardless of how he plays. It's way too small of a sample size under the most meaningless of circumstances. It's far too late to prove anything meaningful imo.

If he plays one and has to go back on IR, that would have an impact on his trade ability, don’t you think? Also, looking at the schedule with no back to backs and some gaps between games, if he were healthy and effective he could play them all. Not that I would suggest doing that with a goalie that just came off of IR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To your first point I think they have more to risk or better yet very little to gain by rolling him out there trade wise. I would expect he's rusty as all hell, but I guess there's something to be said if he can stand up in goal for 60 mins for ~3 games without breaking again.
