Sharks re-sign Hill to 2-year deal
The San Jose Sharks have re-signed goaltender Adin Hill to a two-year contract, the team announced Wednesday.
The deal carries an average annual value of $2.175 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
San Jose acquired Hill from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for netminder Josef Korenar and a swap of 2022 draft picks. Hill was a restricted free agent and filed for arbitration.
The 26-year-old had a .913 save percentage and a 2.74 goals against average in 19 games last season. Hill's split time between the AHL and NHL over the past three campaigns but has appeared in 49 career games with the Coyotes, earning a .909 save percentage.
The Sharks bought out longtime starter Martin Jones in July and signed James Reimer to a two-year deal at the opening of free agency. Reimer and Hill are expected to share the crease for San Jose this coming season.
