Hertl got 2 years remaining, 8th OA have more value than a player with 2 years who can hit the free agency.

Trades are fair, for MTL Bergevin won’t trade Lehky, so it will be Mete if he had to choose

Not worth it for Buffalo, if they miss the playoffs and Hertl leave, the GM will lose is job, simple as that. They need a cost control player

and if San Jose's pick sucks then maybe Wilson gets fired

there's risk for both team in every trade

Sharks aren’t trading A bottom 6 winger for a first then turning around and trading their top Center for just a 1st even if it’s a better first

Again Buffalo fans stop throwing dumb Hertl trades that don’t make sense sharks will want an NHL ready player a top line caliber prospect and your first. I’m not Making any Hertl trade if I’m GM but that’s what it would take for Wilson to trade him.

In every single alternate reality possible. He is an RFA, is younger, didn't just have a knee injury, and is extremely responsible defensively. Offensively Hertl is the better player no question, but RFA status is the big value holder here

Really Dude he had 35 goals and 74 points last year and was on pace for 27 and 61 points in a down year before he got hurt.

When healthy he has 30 + goal 60-80 point potential .

You make it sound like he’s clearly better. he has potential to be better, and he might be given the leg injuries but I still think Hertl is better for at least the next 3-4 years
However anthony is the better player value given his potential/ age/ skill.
So I agree with you but not on everything.
