What a year for Colin Blackwell. I could probably end this article here and call it a day. But you all know me, I can’t just do that. But what a year for Blackwell, again. Signed as a depth forward, Blackwell thrust his way into the top-six with relative ease. His success was a surprise even to the biggest fans of the signing, of which I am one of them. It’s pretty easy to predict what Blackwell’s final report card grade will be, so you can skip to the end if you want.
Blackwell played 47 games for the Rangers, bouncing between the second, third, and fourth lines.
