Hill is getting a "known quantity" premium from Vegas, since the coaches are very familiar with him, his abilities and limitations, and they are not having to teach a new face their system. Also indicates that the Vegas organization sees their window open for only two more years before a rebuild starts. Finally, nobody knows if Thompson can stay healthy, and at any rate they don't want to wear him out as Dallas arguably did with Oettinger down the stretch. So, it's a little pricey in the abstract, but probably makes better sense in the specific circumstances.This one is odd to me....Logan is actually a better goalie and I assume he will be good to go next year...this is to much money but the term is good so it isn't terrible.....
The sin is never over paying short term it is over terming.
This is a smart move by vegas, you can get away from it fairly quickly if things go south.
Hill split time with Thompson until about the TDL when both were injured, so he's a known quantity by the staff.Seems high outside of a month a play but who knows maybe it works out

Ken Dryden?? The guy who was first team all star 5 times?Nice reward. He played with ice in his veins. People will always remember the one stuck save but where he was fantastic, was when there was pressure and mayhem in his crease. Never panicked.
We all know playing goalie for Cassidy is much easier than anywhere else. That said, he outplayed all 3 opposing goaltenders he faced in the playoffs. Including Bob and Oettinger.
History will view him much like it views Chris Osgood and Ken Dryden. That’s ok though. He won a Stanley Cup and nobody can ever take that away from him. So bravo to him. He deserves the 2 years and the nice raise.
I'm guessing Hill will get most of the starts next year? Feel bad for Thompson, he was having a solid year last year and made the All star game. I wouldn't be surprised if he asks for a trade by the 40 game mark due to wanting to be a starter.
