NHL free agency can be a tricky landscape, offering some players choices while others struggle to find a place. Normally, once a contract is inked, it's a done deal.
But today, a peculiar situation emerged for a veteran backup goalie. The New Jersey Devils announced the signing of Keith Kinkaid to a one-year, two-way contract, with him earning $750K in the NHL and $350K in the AHL.
However, there's a twist. Earlier this summer, Kinkaid signed a one-year deal with the unaffiliated Chicago Wolves of the AHL, leaving questions about how this situation will play out.
