Confirmed Trade: [CBJ/NJD] Keith Kinkaid for 2022 5th round pick

[WilliamNylander]

2022 lol...

 

[wahsnairb]

Goalie that has had good games in the show for a 2022 5th lol.. well done

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

bob out?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Man I would have thought we'd get more than a 5th. Demand for goalies must be weak.

This. Atrocious return for a guy who has really stepped up for the Devils the last few seasons. Devils now fully embracing the tank.

 

[Icarium]

LOL, fifth round pick in 2022, that's pretty cheap for a starting goalie, albeit one from a bottom feeder.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Is Korpisalo waiver exempt? This is the only logic I can think of behind this deal, that Korpisalo will be sent to the AHL. Unless they're trading Bobrovsky and running with Korpisalo and Kinkaid (lol), I don't even see how this works without Korpisalo in the AHL.

He is not waiver exempt, he would require waivers to be sent down

 

[Maukkis]

Is it even allowed to trade draft picks four drafts in advance (yes, that is the best wording I could come up with)?

Trading a goalie with one of the absolute worst GSAAs this year is an impressive feat, unless you're the GM who is acquiring said goalie. Kekäläinen has lost it.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

I’m cool with accumulating picks. Don’t mind this one bit, and I’d be curious to see if MBW gets another look before the season is over.

I’ll always appreciate Keith for holding down the fort last year during our playoff push, but he’s an inconsistent goalie that isn’t all that good. Maybe he can turn it around behind a far superior CBJ defense.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

That's really the best they could have gotten for him? Didn't he carry NJ into the playoffs along with Hall last year?

 

[TheGroceryStick]

You're off the case Bobrovski

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Wait, 2022?

Jesus Christ.

 

[HBK27]

2022 5th rounder is nothing special, but I'm just happy NJ got anything for Kincaid.

 

[bobholly39]

Bob shouldn't be traded with all the acquisitions Columbus is making

I get he doesnt exactly have a stellar playoff record but hes still your #1 goalie. Trading him before a playoff run seems like shooting yourselves in the foot

 

[Sstroh84]

Feels more like getting a backup NHL goaltender so Korpisalo can be sent to AHL and get some playing time. Bob has been playing well so Korpi has like 1 start in the last 3 weeks.

 

[Forge]

Lol 2022. I'll take it, but funny

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Hilarious trade.

Great guy, mostly miserable goalie. Played well down the stretch to get us into the playoffs last season, though.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Curiouser and curiouser........

Which starting goalie was traded? Kinkaid is terrible outside one hot streak last season.

 

[Magic Man]

The year is a little far out, but an earlier 5th probably would have been in the right neighbourhood.

 

[Icarium]

Which starting goalie was traded? Kinkaid is terrible outside one hot streak last season.

He has played 41 games this season, so he is a starting goalie. I didn't say that he was a particularly good one.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Good depth move for the Jackets. I guess they aren’t planning on drafting for 4 or 5 years.

Wait, what?

Kinkaid had a great run last season before floundering in the playoffs, but he has not been very good this year. In 41 games, he has a 3.36 GAA and .891 Save %. Schneider has been just as bad (although better recently), but Blackwood has been the best goalie in NJ this season and now they can bring him back up.

NJ is going with Schneider/Blackwood next season, so Kinkaid would not have been resigned. Just glad they got something for him, as there's not going to be much of a trade market for an average backup.

 

[Oneiro]

Haha, all the people who have no idea what they're talking about are talking up Kinkaid?

Dude has been flat out bad, even on nights where the team has given him a chance.

 

[GQS]

Whatever happens to the Jackets after today whether they win the Cup or don't even make the playoffs, at least they've given their fans alot to talk about the past few days with all these trades.

 

[ncm7772]

Dang. Real solid deal fer CBJ.
