Keith Kinkaid: Signs minor-league deal
Keith Kinkaid inked a one-year, minor-league contract with AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.Kinkaid had started the preseason on a professional tryout deal with the Islanders, but it seems he will be heading south to link up with the Checkers. The fact that the 35-year-old backstop is on a minor-league-only deal means that Kinkaid won't be suiting up in the NHL this season -- unless somebody comes calling with an NHL-level contract.

Islanders' Keith Kinkaid: Named to rookie camp roster
Keith Kinkaid will be on the ice with the New York Islanders' prospects after being named to the rookie camp roster Thursday and signing a professional tryout agreement, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.Even if Kinkaid were to land a contract with the Islanders, it would almost certainly be a two-way deal or a minor-league-only contract considering Semyon Varlamov and Ilya Sorokin are cemented as the NHL duo heading into the 2024-25 campaign. As such, don't expect Kinkaid to offer much in the way of fantasy value this season.

Devils' Keith Kinkaid: Designated for waivers
Keith Kinkaid (undisclosed) was placed on waivers for the purpose of reassignment Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.Per NHL rules, Kinkaid has to be medically cleared before he can be waived or reassigned. While the veteran backstop has played sparingly at the NHL level over the last few seasons -- he saw action in just two games last year -- there are a handful of teams that could be in the market, including the Edmonton Oilers, who aren't exactly getting solid netminding out of either of their current goalies. If Kinkaid goes unclaimed, he will link up with AHL Utica for the time being.

Keith Kinkaid: Links up with AHL Chicago
Keith Kinkaid signed a one-year contract with AHL Chicago on Tuesday.Chicago will operate independently this season, so Kinkaid will have no direct path back to an NHL deal. The 34-year-old split time between the Avalanche and the Bruins last season, playing in one game for each of those NHL clubs while spending the bulk of the campaign in the minors. Kinkaid will still be free to ink an NHL deal if he shows well with the Wolves.
