Confirmed Trade: [SJS/ARI] Adin Hill and 2022 7th round pick for Josef Korenar and 2022 2nd round pick

[Mal Reynolds]

I know a number of Arizona fans on here seem quite high on Hill but this is pretty good value for an ultimately fairly unproven guy

Time will tell if it was a good gamble for San Jose or not

 

[Mafoofoo]

Terrible deal. Arizona fleeced us and DW probably was drunk during the call

 

[one2gamble]

Such a bizarre (read: bad) deal for SJ. Why pay a 2nd for a middling goalie? There's like a zillion of them on the market this offseason.

Probably overpay for one of those as well

 

[LokiDog]

So SJ will expose Jones and protect Hill since there’s no way Jones will be picked?

Uh, more like because they want Jones to be picked. (But yeah, he wont be.)

They would've exposed Jones over Korenar.

 

[LokiDog]

Figured, just making sure I’ve got the pulse.

I've complained about this enough on the Sharks board but this is a horrific trade for San Jose

Not due to the quality of player or the value of the picks, but for the current situation the Sharks are in

After missing the playoffs in back to back seasons, one of which included a last place finish in the conference and a subsequent forfeiting of the 3rd overall pick, we just traded a future 2nd for a goalie who has played 49 NHL games, has put up average numbers and is an unsigned RFA

This team is not making the playoffs next year unless Adin Hill wins the Vezina and Hart trophies and carries the shitpile San Jose Sharks roster to the postseason on his own, but even if he does they won't win a damn thing once they get there

On the other side of the season they will be a year older, a year worse, and will have given up the right to select one of the 64 best incoming teenaged prospects that this team desperately needs to usher in a new era

Doug Wilson is flailing wildly in a desperate attempt to keep his job and he has inexplicably been gifted the opportunity to fix the mess of a roster and salary structure that he has created and it appears his solution is to make more of the same shortsighted "win now" moves when his team has absolutely zero chance to accomplish anything of consequence

This trade awful, and it may only get worse depending on what the contract extension looks like

At least Wilson hasn't been known to give out overinflated deals to middling talents. . . oh wait. . .

People saying SJ lost the deal before Hill starts a single game for them are turds.

It’s HF law that:

A) Someone always has to win/lose a trade, even if it’s relatively fair for both sides.

B) 2nd rounders are worth more than most NHLers.

Great post. Lol.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Atleast we didn’t trade for a 34 year old

 

[67 others]

Koskinen - Jones would be a pretty sick tandem.

For all the wrong reasons.

 

[Jormungandr]

Great post. Lol.

Add:
1st rounders are worth more than double any current nhl player.

Yet….

 

[AliBaba]

Don’t like it but whatever. Could be worse.

Couple players bounce back, acquire some depth, goalies perform, bada bing bada boom you got yourself a playoff team.

There's no way Jones gets picked over Price, Quick, or any of the other proven NHL starters that are going to be available.

The team with 4 top 6 forwards, no quality bottom 6ers, 0 top pair quality defenseman and now 1 NHL caliber goalie who has only been deployed as a backup with league average results is not as close to a playoff berth as you have described

The Sharks are a bad offensive team and an abhorrent defensive team and we don't know if Hill can perform behind this terrible roster, they won't be close to a playoff spot next year

 

[Erep]

I agree with what you are saying, but Quick is Jones-bad, too. (He had more success, obviously, when he was good, but neither of those two will be picked.)

his two Cup rings as a starter might be desirable if anything for the name recognition.

 

[Patty Ice]

Yet….

Ahh, he will just sign Dubnyk.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Well he can't be any worse than Jones can he?

 

[Dirty Dog]

Seems like a lot. I don’t know how people are saying getting a goalie is a buyers market…when Hill just cost this much

 

[WATTAGE4451]

I don't think quick is a nhl starter anymore. He hasn't been good for 3 years.

A couple of thoughts on this trade:

1- First, since Hill is not under contract, the Sharks traded Korenar and a 2nd round pick for the rights to Hill.

2- There are similarities on this Hill trade with the Jones trade. Both were not starting goalies at the trade.

3- ARI recouped a 3rd round draft pick in 2015 into a 2nd round one for 2022. Many believe it will be in the early in that round.

4- At least DumboW didn't give up a 1st this time.
