Confirmed Trade: [VGK/SJS] Adin Hill for 2024 4th-round

[Petes2424]

You can’t take anything away from him. He played with a lot of ice in his veins.

That said, all of their goaltenders played well this year. They’re playing in Bruce Cassidy’s system, with an actual 6 man D-Core, who forces everything outside.

There will be offers because of how he played. It won’t be anything crazy though.

This aged well

Ya. We all should have known that a 3rd string goalie traded for a 4th rounder in August was going to backstop a team to a Cup win.

I was wrong, I'll admit it surely. But the comment was absolutely justified at the time.

And, to be totally pedantic, the comment is still 2/3ds correct. Vegas had 2 goalies who couldn't do the job.

At the time, there's no justifacation to give up more than a 4th for him, and a 4th was even a bit much. He came into a situation and seized the opportunity, happens alot... Theres always one guy in a contract year that plays well in the playoffs and gets a $4mil deal, and then comes back to reality. TBD on Hill.
None the less played a hell of a playoffs

Hill wasn't as bad before this year as people act. He had league average stats despite playing for 2 horribl Arizona and sharks teams. Doesn't look like a future star starter but as a backup or even 1b he is fine. He will cash in on a bad contract for this cup though.

No he wasnt as bad as people have said thats for sure, but worth a 4th at that time was justified. Nothing more. But yes, overpayment most likely incoming, but is what it is, played well at the right time

I typically hope that no one bumps up the dumb shit I said a few months ago.

It wasn't about you but you managed do do it anyways

You asked “what emotion do YOU feel”, and I answered you. Yes, I managed to answer your direct question.

Are you now confused?

What emotion do you feel when you read PEOPLE'S POSTS but you made it about your posts and to take it a little further you still never posted an emotion in your response. Don't worry about it. It doesn't need to go any further.

Truth is that Hill made considerable progress during the season, going from marginal and getting pulled a couple of times early in the season (I didn't have much faith in him based on his early play) to being a pretty solid goalie down the stretch. Cassidy worked with him a bunch and it seemed to really help when Quick came onboard as almost another goalie coach. Even veterans can sometimes pick up their game, and Hill certainly did so, finding his confidence too which one could watch grow by leaps and bounds by almost every game to where he was downright spunky towards the end.

Again, congrats on always having opinions that stand up to subsequent events. It's truly remarkable.

Reminds me of a trade twenty years ago from San Jose for a young Finnish goaltender.

What a weird Hill to die on.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think Hill gets 2 years at $4M AAV.

If Philly trades Hart, then I see Philly giving Adin Hill a try.

I didn't say had predict a cup win but to doubt a guy who is obviously capable of playing in the NHL is a little absurd. These guys may be third string goalies but their still the best of the best in the world and are obviously capable of getting hot and playing well at any given time. Hf is always quick to write off anyone who has a bad stretch or hasn't been given a fair shake yet in their career and theyre quick to forget what exactly got these guys to the show to begin with
