Value of: Adin Hill - 2023 Unrestricted Free Agent

[Bleedred]

If I’m Vegas I let him go and go with Thompson (for stupid cheap) next year and someone else. Lehner probably won’t play again.

Do what Colorado did with Kuemper and let him cash in elsewhere.

Don’t do what Dallas did with Khudobin.

To be fair, Khudobin was much older and also had a larger resume of being shit at the NHL level than Hill does.

Buffalo's top priority has to be goaltending. Nothing beats filling your top priority without giving up any assets.

 

[Bleedred]

Is Binnington not the comparable? He was almost sent to Boston's farm team to make room for other goalies and then ended up winning the Cup with STL

Not really. Binnington was roughly a year younger and had no NHL experience prior to that year, other than a relief appearance. Hill has played several years in the league full time now.

But they have Devon Levi.

What about Ottawa? They have nobody.

For Buffalo priority top 4 D. We need a goaltender too, but Hill wouldn't be my number one choice, he looked good in Vegas, but Buffalo has a very different system and defense.

Any pictures of Hill in hockey pajamas, hockey sheets and blankees and hockey posters above the bed?

 

[Flyer lurker]

Has all the hallmarks of a future mistake for some team imo. The most games he’s ever played in a season is 27. Vegas has started like a dozen goalies, and they’ve all posted good numbers, so there’s a big system factor there. Top that off with a playoff hotstreak, and you might get someone to bite on paying him like a starter, which I’m guessing won’t age well if it happens.

Hill screams future Jack Campbell.

We shall see.

Binnigton 2.0

Whoever gives him a big contract will very soon regret it

 

[Accelleratii]

Some goalies are difference makers and elevate their team. Other goalies need to be just good enough to let the team in front of them get the job done. Hill is the latter. I don't see him having much success on most other teams.

 

[stempniaksen]

He's probably going to get 3-4 years @ $4.5-$5.5 million and I've got no interest from a Sens perspective at that price.

Coming back to Vegas at a slight discount might be what ends up making the most sense for him as far as an on-ice perspective but I wouldn't be surprised to see him cash in with a team like Buffalo/Columbus since this may be his only real shot at big money.

 

[beowulf]

Really depends on if teams have learned from the Campbell and Keumper contracts.

Depends on if those teams can protect Hill like Vegas did. If they can, he probably will be fine.

Dude is going to ask for the moon in terms of $$$ and term.

this can go very bad for vegas. this is the goalie that got you a cup. if you dont resign him or if you try to low ball him with a cheap 3 year 4-5 mil per contract you tell the WORLD and ALL nhl future players that might consider signing with Vegas just what you think of hockey players. VERY BAD. Thanks for the CUP but I wont pay you.

They literally dumped Fleury immediately after a Vezina win. That'll do more damage than letting the backup goalie walk as a UFA.

I really like Hill and what he's done, but Vegas was winning the cup with any league average goalie in net.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

He should go and get every single penny he can squeeze out of this run because whichever team he signs with won't have VGKs defense in front of him.

Whichever team signs him is gonna be really disappointed.

 

[herzausstein]

Has 101 nhl regular season games spread out over 6 seasons. Most ever played in a single season is 27 games. SV% has been pretty decent. Just not sure he can handle a starters workload. Probably wont matter because someone is going to pay him to. I think he gets the Elvis or Nedeljkovic type 2-3 year deal at 4M.

 

[Super Cake]

Given the Knights cap sitation, i doubt the Knights will be able to re-sign him. So i wish him luck to wherever he goes. Us Knight fans will remember him forever.

I don't think hill was as bad as people act. He had about league average stats with Phoenix and sharks despite them being terrible teams. He had a good defense this year and was above league average stats. Now he will get signed to a bad contract, but i think he is a fine 1b albeit one with durability issues the last 2 years and will definitely get overpaid.

Vegas might want to see if they can get brossoit back cheap. He did well with them in limited time reg season and since he got injured and hill did better in playoffs he might not be able to cash out.

He was only full time this year and the year prior with San Jose. He was 3rd string in Arizona but got a few callups cuz both raanta and kuemper were made of glass

 

[n8]

5 year / $26,250,000
Call it a Kuemper or Ex-Coyote Contract

 

[gdsmack267]

If you are a GM id imagine you would be scared to go over 3 years x $4 million. Im sure his agent will try to get more but I could also see the agent overplaying the playoff performance and it coming back to bite them.

 

[chaser17]

3x3 is what i keep coming up with. Not sure i'm sold on him, Vegas plays a smothering and physical defensive game that not many other teams can replicate.
