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

[Viqsi]

So CBJ is gonna carry 3 goalies on the 23 man roster?

I'm just trying to make sense out of the seemingly senseless. We're not in dire need of a backup, as far as I know.

 

[BonMorrison]

Well there'll always be that Chiptole date thing

 

[iamjs]

Wow a 2022 5th round pick. Always good to think about the future.

I thought the limit for dealing picks was three years.

 

[prototypical4thliner]

I wonder how this negotiation even goes.

We want to give you kinkaid.

Okay.

For a fifth rounder.

Nah.

Hold on, it’s in 2022.

... Sold.

 

[Mal Reynolds]

I can only assume this is a Depth Pananoia move for just in case one of Bob or Korpi gets injured - there's nobody immediately behind them right now for callup (our best guys are in Europe).

Yup, fun speculation aside, I think that's all there is to it as well

So CBJ is gonna carry 3 goalies on the 23 man roster?

Pretty sure there are no roster limits after the trade deadline

What a worthless return 2022 is 4 drafts away

Love when posters bash players that get moved after they played a significant part in doing something good for their team the previous year. I get he hasn’t been good. Welcome to Columbus.

The fans give him credit for how he played last year. Nobody had a problem doing that. He's been garbage this year, and largely meh throughout his career. The fans have been baking him will before this trade for his performance this year. He was really bad. Doesn't mean the fans weren't appreciative of what he did last year

 

[Viqsi]

Pretty sure there are no roster limits after the trade deadline

Good call. Had forgotten about that.

 

[Tretyak 20]

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

Except that our best goalie by far this year has been Mackenzie Blackwood. He will be given a chance to see what he can do down the stretch. Combine that with the facts that neither KK or Schneider have been good this year and that KK is UFA after this year and no, it's not tanking.

 

[Its a Trap]

I thought the limit for dealing picks was three years.

Well technically it’s 3 years although 4 drafts.

 

[Forge]

Seems like a low sell by the Devils.....a 5th in three years? Damn.

Take what you can get. If that's the market, that's the market. Not much you can do about it. He's an unrestricted who won't be back next year, so no reason to not take the pick at that juncture, even if it's three years away

 

[iamjs]

Well technically it’s 3 years although 4 drafts.

that's what I meant. Forgot that year and season could probably be used in different contexts here.

With 2019, 2020, and 2021 still being undrafted, I didn't think you could trade a 2022 pick.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Kinkaid isn't very good. He had a great 6 weeks last spring and is otherwise your average dime-a-dozen journeyman goalie. Has some very good moments, some moments that make you want to break your TV.

I was happy letting him walk for free this summer so getting literally anything makes me satisfied.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Pretty sure there are no roster limits after the trade deadline

Yep, this is the case. I forgot about that. So only the 50 contract limit applies at that point.

 

[drktmplr12]

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

-friedman, probably

 

[Dr Danglefest]

Maybe they are trading Bob to Florida and Korpisalo is a part of the package in a trade for Quick...although if I’m CBJ I’d want Reimer back in then Bob deal far more than I’d want Kinkaid even at the low cost...no idea about Salary Cap implications on anything I just said so Carry on everyone

 

[CupofOil]

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

He's a backup with an .891 save pct. so not sure what you expected.
He's better than the numbers show but a 5th sounds about right.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Trading for Duchene and Dzingel to only turn around and trade Bob is so counter productive

Yup. Can't imagine mortgaging the future for one Cup run and then turning around and rolling with Korpisalo and Kincaid in net. If Bob is gone I imagine someone else is coming in. Quick, Howard, etc.

 

[Roshi]

2022 draft will be deep. Good haul for NJD.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

What a worthless return 2022 is 4 drafts away

A draft pick today, or a draft pick next week is still a draft pick.

Columbus could be rebuilding and that 4th could be right at the start of the draft.

 

[Satans Hockey]

What a great start to the day, I can't believe we got more than a bag of pucks! The better news of all this means we really aren't going to bring him back for next season. So happy.

 

[ScottyK]

I was expecting future considerations at best for the sieve, w/e

 

[CDN24]

So CBJ is gonna carry 3 goalies on the 23 man roster?

23 man roster rule does not apply after the deadline.

 

[AngelDuck]

That's less value than a 7th round pick this year

 

[Arthur Morgan]

I dont understand this trade from CBJ or NJ's point of views
