LAS VEGAS — Adin Hill and the Golden Knights agreed to a two-year, $9.8 million contract extension Friday to keep the pending unrestricted free agent in Las Vegas.
Hill, 27, played a major role in the Knights’ Stanley Cup championship. The goaltender was 11-4 in the postseason, and his .932 save percentage led all starters. He finished third in the Conn Smythe Trophy voting for playoff MVP.
Hill’s return keeps most of the Knights’ title-winning team intact. Seventeen of the 19 players who appeared in the final against the Florida Panthers are now under contract with the team for next season. Left wing Reilly Smith was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and left wing Brett Howden is a pending restricted free agent.
