Not really. I’m not even a Sharks fan, but a 1st in a weak draft and a 3C isn’t a great return for one of their two most valuable assets. Oh and now will come the hate about the massive upside of Chytil, but realistically in trade scenario the other team is going to counter he is a 30pt 3C. Everybody over values their own players I get it, but that package doesn’t get you Hertl in my opinion.
I'm a Sharks fan...
The 1st is 16th overall, and Chytil was on pace for 43p as 21 year old with good potential, if anyone counter argued that the 21 year old is only putting up .5p/gp, they would get laughed out of the room.
The ask that was talked about the most around the TDL was Newhook + COL 1st, and that was before the deadline, when Hertl would have been worth more. Presumably the COL pick would be late 20s at least, so the difference between 16th + Chytil and ~30th + Newhook isn't dramatic, and considering the loss of value with the 2021 deadline passing, it makes sense.
This is presuming that Hertl is not extended, of course there will be a clause in there for another pick, probably another 1st if he is extended.
