Confirmed with Link: CBJ adds G Kinkaid from NJD for 2022 5th round pick

[Doug19]

Jarmo must have existing plans that coincide with the 2020, 2021 and 2022 drafts.

He's saying that's the next GMs problem if this all goes south.

 

[KJ Dangler]

I don't get this at all. I get it, the devils haven't been good this year but Kincaid has been awful.

in his last 10 games that he's appeared in, he has given up 42 goals. so roughly a 4.20 GAA to go along with a .868 save percentage (!!!)

As I always preface, my guess is that the defense in front has been brutually bad. Also, there was probably a 10 game stretch this season where those numbers were in line with Bobs preformances. Look where we are now ?

 

[Crede777]

CBJ are big believers in the analytics which show goalies starting fewer than 55 games do better in the playoffs. Gives them a 3 person tandem and insurance in case one goes down.

 

[Theo Von]

Definite upgrade over Korpi

 

[EspenK]

It means we dont trust berube if things get bad

It means that every quality guy we have behind Bob and Korpi is in Europe and so can't be called up if someone gets injured.

C'mon folks (those of you who are puzzled by this move) it is as simple as stated above.

[blahblah]

It was .916 and .913 the previous two seasons. Not great, but serviceable.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Coming around to the idea that this is insurance on injury. If Jarmo is gonna be "all in" at forward, then he's gonna want to hedge his bets against something happening in net and wanting to have another guy who can play.

Is he gonna carry all three guys on the NHL roster? Could this be why Clendening was sent down (there was some concern there is no bench/scratch at D), at least until this all sorts itself out?

Not being here? LOL

There are no roster limits after the deadline so I’m assuming all 3 guys will be here.

 

[Tall Morty]

If NHL 17 taught me anything, shouldn’t Korpisalo have a 90+ rating by now?

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Yeah forgot about that. Thanks.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Just remember there are no roster limits after today. We can carry all 3 on the roster. Also who is to say that Kinkaid isn’t #3 on the depth chart for the time being. If anything, this is to guarantee that we don’t load up and then somehow need to rely on J.F. Berube to prevent it from falling apart.

 

[niflheim]

51? He is our guy ( definitely).

This is where I finally disagree with Jarmo. You already have a backup. You don't need two. Jarmo actually drafts well with late picks.

I'm not so sure.

I'm not so sure.

What happens if one of them gets hurt?

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

What happens if one of them gets hurt?

Agreed. And this matters even more given that Jarmo has gone for broke at forward. Can't have made the investment at forward without getting some protection for it in net.

That's when you put in your back up.

I think you meant "what happens if two of them get hurt?"

If Bob or Korp is out for an extended period of time...

 

[AndBoomGoesTheCannon]

Might need to keep him around for entertainment value. Imagine this guy staying on and running game ops/marketing.

It's not what I meant. Not sure why this is funny. Not sure why I need to explain it to you. It's pretty evident. Let me know if you want an explanation.

I don't know why it makes me laugh. You keep saying different versions of "what if someone gets hurt", when you already have 2 goalies. You need two of them to get hurt to actually have a problem. Yes, I know that's what you meant, but I prefer to have fun responding to statements as if they were literal.

Because backups only play if the starter gets hurt?

Meh.

If Bob blows out his groin again, do you want to go down the stretch with Joonas Korpisalo and JF Berube?

I sure don't.

Korpisalo might be OK in sample stretches, but Berube has been woefully terrible in sample stretches. Kincaid has at least been serviceable, and should give us maybe the best backup we have had in a long time. If Bob falters or goes down, he's far more reliable than Korpisalo.
