The Devils are planning to move on from Mackenzie Blackwood. They are also interested in signing a younger, unproven player.

The New Jersey Devils are rumoured to be preparing to move on from their current No.1 goalie Mackenzie Blackwood. Blackawk is on the hot seat this season and needs to prove he can be the team's No 1 goalie. If he doesn't, the Devils might trade their first two draft picks from the 2015 draft. If Blackwawki doesn’t improve, they might look for a new goalie next summer. They invested three years in goalie Andy Vanacek. There are some interesting free agent options. if Blackowk doesnt perform well, then the club might go out and look to sign another goalie to replace him.
