Confirmed with Link: Montreal Canadiens Sign Keith Kinkaid (1-Year @ $1.75M AAV)

[The Great Weal]

I guess no one is going to let him live down that typo.

What typo?

 

[26Mats]

Prefereed McElhinney. Will see how much he'll signed for. Do we have the $ figure for KK?

Yeah I wanted a Halak level back up to try to get Price a lot of rest.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Official announcement... $1.75M

 

[BrassCompels]

Good signing. Low risk, only 1 year. Can easily win 15-20 games.

 

[Whitesnake]

My problem is that it also resides on hope. We hope he goes back into form. You do not right now acquire a surefire backup that is already doing great. That's all.

But if he does great, it's perfect.

 

[Deebs]

Good signing

 

[Kriss E]

Win 20?...I mean, ya, if he plays 35 games...

 

[Habs]

Good signing. Can easily win 15-20 games.

Niemi would disagree, so would all the unemployed backups in the NHL and Europe.

 

[yianik]

Okay, good. One box checked. LHD please

Which is more than likely. Montreal will be contenting for the playoffs, and Kinkaid guarantees a rested Price. He played 40 games the last 2 seasons, won 26 the season before. This signing gives Price a real backup and some breathing room. Niemi and Lindgren don’t.

 

[DXStriker]

Meh for under 2 Million its fine

Back to the Lee/Aho Watch

You really want Gardiner ? Habs could end up with Hutton or Chiarot.....

 

[Playmaker09]

Waiting for the Bergy special where we start cornering the market for backup goalies.

35-40 games played means 42-47 played by Price. There is no way in hell Price plays this little unless he's injured.

 

[1909]

He is turning 30 in a couple of days. Still young.

 

[TheFutureisBright]

woopti effing do

No. I think we need to trade for a suitable LHD.

 

[peate]

I think we gave up on Lindgren too quickly. Wasted money.

 

[MD thaivuN]

i expect Kinkaid to play 25 games. 30 would be pushing it.

 

[1909]

No. I think we need to trade for a suitable LHD.

Shaw could had been ONE of the piece to get this LHD in a trade.

I hope no more than 25. Price must play 55+ games.

 

[le_sean]

Lindgren wasn’t even good in the AHL. You can’t trust him to give 20-25 quality starts in the NHL.

 

[BrassCompels]

35-40 games played means 42-47 played by Price. There is no way in hell Price plays this little unless he's injured.

Nobody said Kinkaid is playing 35-40 games. Kinkaid can easily win between 15-20 games in 25-30 games. Price isn’t playing more than 60 games this year.

 

[Rapala]

What ?
It's 12:11 and Duschene is not signed yet by MB ?

The Bin isn't open...
yet

He's gonna need (lots of) help from his team mates....
