Mackenzie Blackwood was voted the Devils’ fourth-best prospect by you all, the fans. He was drafted 42nd overall in the 2015 NHL Draft after the Devils traded down from 36th overall with Ottawa, in turn receiving their 2nd round pick (42nd overall) and 3rd round pick in 2016. Blackwood was Central Scoutings top ranked North American goalie. He was not, however, the first goalie taken in the draft. Ilya Samsonov took that honor when the Capitals selected him with their 19th overall pick.
In this day and age it seems as if every team wants a very tall and lanky netminder.
