Sharks acquire Adin Hill from Coyotes

The San Jose Sharks acquired goaltender Adin Hill from the Arizona Coyotes for netminder Josef Korenar, the teams announced Saturday.

The two squads also swapped 2022 draft picks, with the Coyotes getting a second-rounder and the Sharks receiving a seventh-round selection. The move came just before the deadline to submit expansion draft protection lists.

Hill had a .913 save percentage and 2.74 goals-against average in 2020-21. He also put up a .909 save percentage in three games while backing up now-former Coyotes teammate Darcy Kuemper at the World Championship, where Canada captured gold.

The 25-year-old pending restricted free agent made $800,000 last season. Drafted by Arizona 76th overall in 2015, Hill has been serviceable across 49 games for the Coyotes.

Korenar, 23, has started just seven games in his young NHL career and has an .899 save percentage across 10 contests. San Jose signed Korenar to a one-year extension earlier this week and meets the exposure requirements for Arizona in the expansion draft.
