Yea but that's Kurz. I'm gonna expect Hertl to be back by the playoffs and effective by round 2
Looks like Pavs is sticking on the top-line regardless.

Czech article on Hertl healing.
Sharks rookie Tomas Hertl could return to the Sharks’ lineup soon.
Very soon.
The 20-year-old forward is expected to be ready in time for the Sharks’ first playoff game next week against the Los Angeles Kings, according to a source, and pending medical approval.
If Kurz is right (who knows, it is Kevin Kurz of all people), THIS. IS. AWESOME.
Are we going to have the full lineup with Hertl and Torres by next week (no Burish, but nobody cares)? Wow!
Could you imagine the first time the Sharks can ice a healthy lineup (minus Burish) this year is game 1 of the first round. We still haven't really seen the real team yet.
That's the crazy thing! So many people are worried because of our current play now, but it is possible that we get those guys back next week and go on a run like the Kings did their cup year. That's the homer in me, but the team is stupid deep with Raffi and Hertl in the lineup (and no other injuries, knock on wood).
Quibble about line combos, but holy hell:
Hertl-Thornton-Burns
Marleau-Couture-Nieto
Torres-Pavelski-Wingels
Sheppard-Desjardins-Kennedy/Havlat
That's just filthy. Not sure I trust Todd (Especially when it comes to where to ice Pavs), but damn.

I'm tempering my expectations for them because they haven't played in a long time.
NHL needs stricter rules regarding teams saying what's going on with injuries. NFL teams have to give reasonable reports on the injury // if a guy will play. If someone is paying money for tickets to attend, they have the right to know who is going to play/not play
