San Jose Sharks Have Traded Forward Tomas Hertl

This deal went down as the trade deadline was coming to a close. In return, the San Jose Sharks will be getting David Edstrom, Vegas' 2025 first round pick and numerous third round picks in both 2025 and 2027.

Swedish-born player David Edstrom seems to be a good asset for San jose.

His most recent season being in the SHL, Edstrom racked up 6 goals and 11 assists for Frolunda HC throughout 42 games.

Hertl has a no move clause, making fans wonder whether or not a deal would be made in the first place.

As he is in his second year of a $65m, 8-year contract, the potential of a trade taking place involving his leave has been on the rise.

Although it is a large commitment contract, Hertl looks as though he is willing to put his player development above all to ensure he becomes the player he wants to be.

With such incredible center depth, Vegas seemed quite confident that bringing on this impactful forward was the right decision.

Hertl is on injured reserve.

The commitment he has to his whatever team he skates for always shines through as he is certain that a speedy recovery will take place in order to make a return to the ice this season.

Tomas Hertl has 15 goals and 19 assists, making a total of 34 points in 48 games played this season.

As he has spent such a long and successful career with San Jose, it is with a heavy heart that the organization says goodbye to the beloved Sharks forward.
