Is Kane holding back a bunch of potential trades for the Sharks?

 

[Zats Muccarello]

Pls no

 

[amnesiac]

Lebrun just said, with Kane gone, theres a good chance theyll re-sign him now.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Yuck, they are still obsessed over that 4 goal game he had against Biron?

Good

 

[Vitto79]

Pls no

why are you surprised ? Teams gonna buy

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Not shocking. Makes sense.

Be interesting to see what the rumoured package is.

My bet is not far off what it would have cost for Eichel.

 

[themelkman]

Of course they are. Any team not interested has bad management

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

SJ would be idiots not to re-sign him. In fact , they should be trying to do it asap before he tests the market this summer…

 

[Mickey Marner]

They certainly have the assets to get it done. If they could re-sign him, Zibanejad/Hertl would be a solid 1-2 punch.

 

[Boondock]

Trade for Hertl, re-sign him, let Strome walk at the end of the year (if he isn't included in the deal for Hertl). Makes the Rags an instant contender.

Chytil
Lundqvist
Garand

Schneider, Barron +1st

Can’t see how Tampa and Vegas makes cap room

 

[Unbiased Fan]

He said he wants to go somewhere to win pretty much in the off-season. Money talks but we will see

I would walk away if that was the ask from the Sharks. If Hertl was re-signed at a reasonable cap hit, it would still be a very high asking price, but for a rental with hopes of re-signing thats an absolute kings ransom.

It's retail that's for sure.

 

[BKarchitect]

Ziba and Hertl would be a pretty awesome 1A-1B center punch. You can dream big with that kind of duo up the middle. And the Rangers have the assets. It only makes sense if they feel reasonably comfortable that Hertl’s long-term contract fits their cap structure though. Because he needs to be a looked at as a long-term play.

LeBrun says in the video that the Sharks approached Hertl about an extension last summer but his agent declined. LeBrun says he expects San Jose to approach them again once the dust settles with Kane and they know how much cap space they have next season.

Well Vegas probably isnt getting him, and Tampa doesnt have the assets so I guess they are probably out yes. But even they should make a call and see if they could fit him in anyhow.

 

[Overrateprospects]

I think it has more to do with the fact that Chytil is a bust and was suppose to become what Hertl is. I don’t see how Rangers acquire him as they have Strome so unless it’s a 3 way deal I don’t think you have to worry about Rangers acquiring him. Rangers wouldn’t need to be looking at Hertl if their previous GM wasn’t so bad at his job. Lias,Chytil,Karl Henriksson all have been garbage. Passed on Villardi,Suzuki and Necas for Lias. Oh and he thought Brett Howden was a top 6 Centre

Or at least spitballed back at teams HQ

 

[The don godfather]

Kakko and chytil goes back to sharks.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

New York’s 1st is the centerpiece in a trade, I think. The Rangers shouldn’t be expected to go far (not that they couldn’t), so their pick should hold more value than that of a more established contender. Late teens/early twenties to a division winner/conference finalist 1st is a decent drop.
