Sharks aren't retaining 6 years and $24+ mil on Hertl. And if they did that would be a terrible return considering Buffalo would get a #1 Center at 4 mil a year. That would literally be the best value contact in the league. Also he's out long term so so one would be picking him up this deadline.
I can't imagine the Sharks would be interested in any of these returns really.
Sets a pretty bad precedent for the current players too when you trade literally half the NHL and AHL team. No one would want to play for an org like that
