Should the San Jose Sharks trade their star goaltender, Mackenzie Blackwood?
That will be an interesting topic come this season's trade deadline.
Mackenzie Blackwood's record this season with the Sharks is a bit off-putting. However, that shouldn't take away from the fact that Blackwood has been terrific all season long for San Jose. He has kept this team in games night in and night out, while continuously being left out to dry by the horrendous team in teal on a nightly basis.
The San Jose Sharks need to retain and sign Mackenzie Blackwood.
e the Mackenzie Blackwood that Devils praised from 2018-2021. If the Sharks can continue to draft well, and the development of highly regarded prospects such as Eklund, Thrun, Smith, and more continue to thrive, then Blackwood would be a perfect fit skill-wise, but also age-wise, on this Sharks roster for the long-term. Getting rid of him would likely be a pretty significant mistake.
Must I remind you who Adin Hill is?
The San Jose Sharks should trade Mackenzie Blackwood.
Mackenzie Blackwood is 2-9-2 and averages 3.80 goals per game with a .897 save percentage. Not numbers teams dream of their goalies putting up. Luckily for the Sharks, some of Blackwood's performances have generated buzz around the league that can potentially lead to teams around the league wishing to upgrade their goalie tandem heading into the postseason. Whether that be as a potential starter in the crease or as a reliable backup, Mackenzie Blackwood will be on a lot of team's radars. The Sharks can move Blackwood to a contender and depending on who that may be, can continue to build their draft capital up even more. I don't think it's unrealistic to move Blackwood for a second or third-round pick. Or even an expendable forward/defenseman.
What do you think the Sharks should/will do with Mackenzie Blackwood?
