If you don't specifiy a method, likely (the default method) scp is
used. That should work fine.
For proxy hops, you couldn't use scp, because it is an external
method. Hops must always be an internal method, like ssh.
So the following shall work:
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
'("\\`bl\\'" "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:bl:"))
With this, it should be possible to access "/sudo:bl:/path" as root.

See the Tramp manual, section "Frequently Asked Questions".
