I was actually just about to post in another thread that I wonder if this is the pivotal year for DW. He brought in some solid vets to fill holes in the lineup, if the team can’t gel and struggles again is that the final straw that breaks the camel’s back? Maybe that’s why we haven’t seen a Hertl extension? Maybe that’s why there’s been no movement on Kane? (Though Wilson’s hands are probably tied until the NHL concludes it’s investigation). Maybe the message to the team is: “We’ve assembled enough talent, on paper, for this team to be a threat - time to deliver or we turn the page”

About the only good thing I can say about the team is there are some pretty good prospects now in the pipeline.

Friedman on Hertl and the message the team plans when he gets to California.

That all just sounds like speculation to me, so my question is how much stock to put in this guy's statements (I don't know him at all).

Yup, me too. I could swear that back then if anyone scored high enough on the hardest shot they got to go compete in that event in the ASG. Of course no Sharks was any good at any of that stuff back then.

Freidman is about as inside as it gets from what I've seen. Doesn't mean Hertl wants to stay but at least says the team wants to keep him. I'd rather keep him over any of the other vet forwards... Injury history and all.

Freidman is one of the most knowledgeable and un-biased hockey insiders out there right now. He has a great podcast with Jeff Marek.
Actually they interviewed Mario Ferraro on it last winter and it was awesome.

Usually involved in TDL and free agency frenzy TV coverage.

I became a fan of Ferraro because of that interview. It was one of the best interviews of that 31 Thoughts season. Also, as a podcast, that is one of the best Hockey Podcasts going right now.
