The only reason I’m against that is because Reimer might help the team with a handful of games. Not enough to make a dent in the playoff push, but enough to push their draft position to like 9-12, similar to what he did this past season.
Thanks again DW…

Adin Hill is an easy goalie to figure out. His glove hand is awful. For a 6’4 goalie it’s pretty easy to pick the corners of the net. Shoot high corners and you’ll score.

Honestly, I have no way to evaluate goalie prospects. Mäkiniemi and Mann both having NHL potential is about the most detailed I can get.

He is going to make Vasilevskiy look like Niemi

It seems like a low return, but hard to blame Grier when DW set expectations paying way too much...
The fact that it's a 2024 4th bothers me...Vegas knew they had Grier over the barrel...

Why is it hard to blame Grier? He just helped your rival for the cost of nothing. Sure Hill isn’t a starter, but he’s a 26 year old NHL goalie.
Alex Georgiev is worse and got NYR two 3rd round picks and a 5th to a team in another conference

I'm ok with this. Don't have high hopes for Hill and Vegas is another dumpster fire that won't do much this year. I still think Reimer gets moved. I'd rather Niemi JR and Mann get the workload in the minors and roll with Kappo and Dell with the big club.

How is Georgiev worse than Hill when he’s played 50 more NHL games at the same age with a higher career SV%? Not to mention the Avs traded for three years of Georgiev while Hill is a UFA in a year.
Vegas being a “rival” is irrelevant. For all intents and purposes the Sharks are not in the same league as the Golden Knights. Trading a third string goalie to a team is hardly “helping” them anyway.

Georgiev isn’t worse bud. Hill was real bad and the Sharks are real bad. This is a nothing move.

We aren't going to be competitive for 3 years at minimum. Probably longer. Sharks shouldn't be worried about helping Vegas at this point. Grier was smart in not limiting his options on the off chance this allows Vegas to beat us 5-2 as opposed to 5-1. Basement dwellers like us shouldn't care until we have a decent team again.

Vegas needed a goalie, sharks had to trade a goalie. No one had leverage. This is fine.
Getting a pick is fine. Hill was a sunk cost.
Too bad they couldn't sell high on Reimer instead...oh well, hopefully they get a good return for him at the deadline

You're out of touch if you think Hill makes any team in the NHL better.

Vegas just added another 2 million dollars to there cap issues also, yes they have weber and lehner on long term. But still that team has 0 cap flexibility going into the season.

Is this the last of DW's (mis)management decisions from the last 2 years?
Wasn't labancs amazing team friendly extension in the past 2 years also?

Exactly. So Hill either plays and takes up 2.175m on the roster, they scratch him consistently and he never plays, or they send him down and risk losing him on waivers.
Vegas just gave us something for a below-replacement goalie at an above-replacement cap hit AND helped us with our goalie log jam
