Golden Knights Sign Adin Hill to 6-Year Contract Extension

The Vegas Golden Knights have agreed terms on a contract extension with goaltender Adin Hill, the team announced Friday morning. The extension will keep the 28-year-old in Sin City for six years at an average annual value (AAV) of $6.25 million per season. Hill was projected to be the top goalie on the market this offseason.

Hill holds a 24-11-4 record this season, alongside a 2.53 goals-against average (GAA) and a .906 save percentage (SV%.) He also boasts four shutouts, which is tied for second-best in the NHL.

The Golden Knights acquired Hill from the San Jose Sharks for a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft during the 2022 offseason.

Golden Knights Have Hill For Foreseeable Future

Hill’s $6.25 million AAV ranks him at 11th in the league among active goaltenders this season, and given his performance thus far this season, it isn’t a bad bargain. The Golden Knights now know they have an answer in net for the next six seasons.

Prior to the extension, Vegas didn’t have a goaltender under contract for next season but now has one for the foreseeable future. The Golden Knights have been through a mix of goaltenders in the past with Robin Lehner, Marc-André Fleury, and Logan Thompson, but finally found their long-term answer in Hill.

Hill, who turns 29 in May, will be 35 years old at the end of this contract.

Hill Finally Has Stability

Throughout Hill’s career, he has never had a contract longer than two years (other than his entry-level contract.) With this extension, he finally has stability for the first time in his career. It’s deserving, too, and not just a feel-good story as he has been the Golden Knights’ backbone this season.

He was also that during the 2023 Stanley Cup playoff run, when he posted a 2.17 GAA and a .932 SV%, helping lead the “Misfits” to their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

Hill has proved himself many times in his NHL career and has finally been rewarded with a payday and, most importantly, some security.
