Colin Blackwell never scored more than six goals in an NCAA season during his time at Harvard. He was a 7th round pick of the San Jose Sharks in the 2011 Draft and seemed destined to ply his trade in the AHL as an undersized forward. The New York Rangers inked him to a two-year deal with an AAV of $725,000 likely as a result of him averaging 0.71 P/GP in the AHL the past two seasons with the Milwaukee Admirals, with some time with the Nashville Predators sprinkled in. He made the Rangers’ taxi squad and after making his debut has been a fixture when he’s been healthy.
