in before all the angry sharks fans say they aren't rebuilding. If they don't either resign or trade Hertl, they're screwed.

I’m a sharks fan and they desperately need a rebuild. As much as sharks fans love Hertl, he needs to be moved.

That's a pretty solid return for the sharks imo

It’s not a bad return, I think the sharks would prefer a center though over a winger which they have plenty of.

San Jose can't rebuild. Burns, couture. Vlasic, Karlsson and kane cost 41.5 million a year

When does Minnesota accept that they're not fit to be adding pieces like Hertl anyway?

If we were this deal would not come close. Add Khusnutdinov and Sturm if you’re serious.

Yeah but most of the teams interested in hertl need the c so not sure they will have much C's offered back... Just takes one though, right?

But if they're not, their d core is going to age on them pretty fast. Brodin is 28 but spurgeon will be 32 in a couple months.

I suppose without Suter it isn't as urgent anymore

From a cap perspective that doesn't matter. Kane is likely to be terminated from the sounds of it. Couture is tradeable.

Burns can likely be traded with retention. Vlasic and Karlsson they may have to ride out for a bit and then buy out.


Now if you're saying they can't afford to pay such cash while rebuilding, then I have no response as I don't know how flush they are with $

No young C no deal

That's what the first is for. Draft one.

SJS won't give up on the season before it starts. So unless he's re-signed, Hertl will be a deadline trade after they are out of Playoff contention.

Yes they weirdly seem to be not accepting they need to rebuild. They should have accepted the need for rebuild about a year ago.
