May 17, 2023 10:15 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBMackenzie Blackwood is set to become a restricted free agent, but he doesn't seem too confident about his future with the New Jersey Devils organization. He'll go wherever the opportunity best presents itself, and that might have to be with a different team. While I don't think Blackwood is a failure, his days as a Devil are probably over.
