Eye test wise he has been among the best in the league IMO. About a month ago i watched them play the Devils in a game where he had a 45 (iirc) shot shutout and made at least 8 10 bell saves. I watched that game because I was going to see them against the Rangers a few days later...and he was that kind of good yet again in a 3-2 loss at MSG.
Im actually surprised the Avs made another trade for a G after doing so a week ago, but there is zero doubt in my mind they got the best guy available by a mile.
This looks like a win/win for both teams at first blush.

Easy to say I’d have taken that for Vladar, but there is a lot of league wide respect for Blackwood. He’s seen as someone who could flourish in the right environment. This deal isn’t on the table for Vladar
