Ben Shelley: Sharks trade Adin Hill to Golden Knights

Agreed, poor asset management. The Sharks' entire MO essentially.

Agreed they traded the wrong goalie, and they got next to nothing for him especially after trading a 2nd for him last season.

You have a team who is desperate to acquire an NHL calibre goalie and who is up against the Cap so you should have had the upper hand in the negotiations. However, that didn't happen and he was basically given away. A very underwhelming return given the circumstances

It's doesn't look great, but the Sharks were pretty much in a take what they could get situation. Goalies are hard to trade at the end of August since teams usually have things figured out by now. Even Vegas didn't really need him. They didn't improve in net. They just have options now.

Reimer had a better season, but he's 34 and wasn't all that good last year. Who's trading for that? There wasn't a bidding war going on for Hill or Reimer. The only other option the Sharks had was to try and send one down after training camp and lose one of them for nothing. A 4th round pick isn't so bad when you look at it that way.
