Keith Kinkaid Pondering NHL Return: Kyle Dubas Could Add Goalie Depth

Two of the New Jersey Devils' alumni left the 3ICE Summer Tournament in grand fashion. Franchise icon and "Mr. Devil" Ken Daneyko was named Eddie Johnston Coach of the Year for guiding 3ICE NY/NJ to the Patrick Cup Championship.

Goaltender Keith Kinkaid, who suited up for 3ICE Buffalo, won the Bryan Trottier League MVP as the most valuable player in the tournament.

Hosted every year at the Florida Panthers' practice facility, 3ICE is an up-tempo, three-on-three event that features active NHL players as well as veterans who are still seeking chances.

Ken Daneyko remains one of the greatest Devils franchise players. He spent his entire career with New Jersey, winning three Stanley Cups and retiring as the franchise leader in games played and penalty minutes.

His No. 3 jersey was retired to the rafters of the Prudential Center, and his easy transition to a behind-the-bench position helped cement his legacy.

Keith Kinkaid stamped himself on New Jersey. Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2012, he played six seasons with the Devils before suiting up for five other NHL teams. The 36-year-old has a .905 career save percentage in 169 NHL games.

Although he's been scurrying around the AHL and ECHL the past couple of years, his MVP game at 3ICE showed that he can still perform under pressure. That success could even see the door opened again to returning to the NHL.

With the Pittsburgh Penguins continuing to search for consistent depth behind Tristan Jarry, President of hockey operations and GM Kyle Dubas may look at Kinkaid as a low-cost veteran stalwart to provide stability in the crease.
