Id still rather have McElhinney who has been the best of the three of late. Kinkaid and Reimer both struggled last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinkaid and Reimer both struggled last year I would, too. And Kinkaid as a second choice. But if we can’t get either one of them, we still need a backup.

BCHabnut Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Can lindgren do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the raps load management with CP31, have him "mid season" form for playoffs. Well assuming the Team can get the missing point they didn't get last season to get into playoffs okay maybe 30-35 games to any CP31 back up is too much but I don't think it's too idiotic tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year or two ago, I'd have said yes but he has not been very good the last two seasons in Laval. His positioning is shaky and he has been prone to allowing some tough goals. If there's enough cap space left (depending on other moves) to upgrade, then they need to go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, no, I would not be keen to rely on Lindgren for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 McEllhinny is way better then Kincaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 35 minutes ago, IN THE HEARTS OF MEN said: McEllhinny is way better then Kincaid Kinkaid's a lot younger though and won't be subject to 35+ provisions like McElhinney would if he signs a multi-year deal (as is expected). I also think Kinkaid will be cheaper and considering they're already spending $10.5 million on a starter, that's probably playing a factor in what they want to spend here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not betting the farm on a 36 year old goalie, who has only been good in the last two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I’m not certain McElhinney is that much better than Kincaid. Kincaid was an excellent backup in Jersey who faltered under a heavy workload. I think he will do very well with Price— and Waite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 That's one out of our three big weaknesses (defence, PP, backup goaltending) addressed. Let's see what more Bergevin can do today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illWill Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Solid signing, should amount to a few extra wins over the course of the season compared to having Niemi. As my 7 year old would say, welcome to the Habs " King Kade " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 There's one expected signing. I don't think anything is surprised with Kinkaid joining the team. Now let's see what's next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
