Both want to be the guy who can get 50+ starts, and Blackwood's playing for his next contract. Both are approaching that crossroads where they're still young, but teams aren't quite sure if they're legit good #1 goalies. Huge year for both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping that competition has both of them on top of their games. Then Fitz can make a decision on who he keeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll depend how much money Blackwood is looking for if he has a good year. And… You have to figure at some point the one playing less will want out.
