Is Hertl better at centre or on the wing?
He's equally effective. He'll drive play at either positions and plays center very well on both sides of the puck. He'll have more positive impact at center but as an individual, his play is stellar at any forward position.
I would assume any trade involving Hertl would be a sign and trade. He's too young and effective of a player to be a pure rental.That offer is insane for one year of Hertl. Even with an extension that's a ton.
Jesus, as a neutral fan, if that was offered, SJ pretty much has to take it.Kakko, Lundqvist and a 1st.

Hell Yeah SJ would take it.Jesus, as a neutral fan, if that was offered, SJ pretty much has to take it.
KK + Vejdemo + 1st in 2023
Terrific player but the two serious knee surgeries worry me a bit.
Actually has had three knee surgeries I believe. Just not sure would wanna give him a 7 year big money extension with that kind of knee injury history.One of them was like seven years ago. It's not a real concern.

From the Rangers, it would start with one of Lundkvist or Schneider.
I’d put his value at a blue chip prospect and a 1st. That’s usually what players of his caliber and age get with one year left on his deal. I really can’t say enough about how good Tomas Hertl is.
No it's not, he's a UFA, when was the last time a UFA was traded for that much?Lots. Hertls Value should be around a 1st/ high-end prospect and a 2nd line C.
Hertl has a 3 team trade list, IIRC. I think he is a Sharks lifer, but if he were to leave I would trade a 1st and a top prospect for him in a second. Like Couture he is one of those guys who doesn't put up huge numbers in the regular season but in the playoffs he is an absolute beast. My favorite player in the league. If he was willing to waive to come to Minnesota and sign an extension, I would trade Rossi or Boldy and a 1st for him without hesitation. Not that Jumbo was a slouch, but I think being paired with Kaprizov could possibly take Hertl's game to another level.
Hertl does not have a NTC. Boldy and a 1st? I'd like that, and Hertl is my favorite player. This would allow SJ to begin the rebuild in earnest.
