Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Hertl has made it clear he is displeased with sharks and their actions to handle kane's situations, he also announced that he is in no rush to decide on a contract extension now if im a sharks fans this would worry me and before you compare it to bergy's situation they are completely different. Boston is all in and i guarantee you if bruins win the cup he will retire but if they don't he comes back for another push he's also 36, in hertl's situation hes only 28, san jose has been on massive decline and with couture, burns, karlson and valsic's large and close to un-movable cap hits the odds they could build a winning roster around him are close to impossible. So san jose do you think a player whos heading into his prime and is about to become a ufa will resign to a team that is gonna be a bottom 6 team for the next few years i think NO. so explain to me why you believe you could pry a team of their best prospect, a top young forwards and a first round pick that makes literally no sense when a team can take their chances of signing him in ufa. Now here is where sharks fan will say well we are in control and we won't take an offer that's worth less then his full value. Well unfortunately you don't have control at this rate it will be almost guaranteed by TDL Hertl won't be returning so the odds of you getting the best package for him will be very low. Now to the trade Debusk, beecher a 1st more and 3rd is almsot equivalent to the value of 3 1sts, idc what people think but debrusk is still a skilled young forward one bad season does not define a players a career, but it comparison to other forwards eichel for ex. his trade value is that of 4 first round quality players and picks, but the thing with eichel is buffalo has control, eichel is signed long term he's also younger and has yet to reach his full potential, with hertl you already know what you are getting. The chances of san jose bringing in a package even nearly close to eichels value is laughable
