Between his playoff success this season and his lack of previous experience, what will Hill’s contract look like as he...
Adin Hill has done himself many favours with his play in the Stanley Cup playoffs, especially as a pending unrestricted free agent. It could mean that he makes a lot more money than he was expecting this offseason, but will his lack of experience cause teams to be cautious?
Tyler Yaremchuk and Mike McKenna discussed on Daily Faceoff Live about what a potential deal for Hill would look like, and what teams they could see going after him.This is a great question, because Hill’s body of work isn’t huge coming into the playoffs, 113 regular season games. Pretty solid numbers, but he’s already on his third team.
I was trying to find some comparables, and I thought Vitek Vanecek got three years at $3 million, and he was never able to grab a starting job in Washington, so I thought Hill’s got to be about north of $4 million, right? Well, the best comparable out there I think is Linus Ullmark. He signed four years, $5 million in Boston with trade protection, and that was after 117 games with the Buffalo Sabres, with no playoff experience.
So, I see a similarity there, I’m not sure what the years are going to be for Hill, because Logan Thompson is under contract with Vegas for two more years under $1 million. Does Adin Hill want to be a free agent? Does he want to try to cash in? Or does he want to stay with a system and a coach in Cassidy that he knows that he can perform in?
That’s the big question for me. I think his deal, if I had to project it, probably a 3-4 year deal, probably in the $4.15 range would be my guess. He will be above $4 million, I don’t think he’ll eclipse $5 million though.If you were a GM looking at this guy, would you not be nervous? He’s never played more than 30 games in an NHL season, and to give him that chunk of change…But look at the goalies out there that have gotten it. Spencer Knight’s clocking in at over $4 million.
