You think Schneider or Smith is better than Kinkaid right now? I mean Kinkaid is having a down year but Schneider and Smith are on another level

I think the point is getting the 2nd round pick for the Devils; because if the Devils don't turn it around in the next couple of weeks they should be sellers at the deadline.

Trade Schneider for a 5th and have the Kinkaid and Blackwood tandem tbh

Nah, I like KK, but he's not a real starter in my mind. Split 50/50 sure. Schneider and Blackwood next year.
Good idea on this Move.

Well if NJD wants to win next year, maybe try to sign Varlamov (or a best case scenario of Bobrovsky) if he does drop to FA. Kinkaid/Schneider/Blackwood are all good goalies, but none are starters on a playoff team in 2019. Get a Varlamov and have Kinkaid/Blackwood to back him up and that's a decent playoff set-up tbh

Problem with both is their both 30, Var is injury prone, Bob is gonna want what $10M per x how many?

probably 10x7 for bob. varly could be a 3 year which wouldnt be bad if he stays healthy

Well all I know is CGY wholeheartedly accepta

The description was Devils trade Kinkaid and tank. Kinkaid is nothing, but a sometimes capable backup. He is no starter and never will be. His career save percent is like .906. Additionally, I am almost 100% certain he signs this offseason with Lou and the Isles. I would make this deal pick up a second and tank. Something has to give with Cory or pick up Varly, while we see what we have in Blackwood. Bob is gunna cost too much.

Exactly. Smith makes them significantly worse in net. Send blackwood to AHL for remainder of season. Let Schneider and Smith let the team tank.
