I mean, he’s not wrong. It’s not a good trade.
There are only 3 teams in the entire NHL where Hertl will allow himself to be traded.
That severely limits what the Sharks can get in return.
People that say his 3 team trade list doesn't mean anything forget that Taylor Hall wouldn't waive his NMC unless he was traded to Boston.
I'm basing a trade for Hertl on two things.
1. The 2nd Matt Duchene between Ottawa and Columbus as a means of establishing a comparable.
2. What Kevin Kurz said about what the Sharks want in a Hertl trade
--- A 1st round pick
--- At least one top prospect that's a little closer to being NHL-ready
(Preferably a centreman or a defenceman that can replace Merkley or Burns on the blueline)
Some might think Beecher is not a top prospect, but he was recently drafted in the first round and can play centre.
Anybody who says my Hertl trades are atrocious are not seeing the big picture.
Anybody who thinks the Sharks should get more than two first round picks will be as miserable as when bias_its_self and jupetto comment on my posts.
Once a Hertl trade is posted on Capfriendly, you'll see it for yourself.
