Pretty good bridge contract, IMO. Although, they could regret not signing him long term if he really puts up big numbers the next two seasons.

 

[Captain Timo]

Great deal. Glad to get him signed quickly, he's a big, and honestly underrated piece of the team.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Great bridge deal. Guy is really starting to come into his own. Only fans of the Sharks truly understand how significant he is to that top line and how much he was missed in the last 4+ games.

 

[Tryamkin]

That's the definition of a bridge deal.
Good job San Jose.

 

[rhinoshawarma]

Decent. He'll get marleau/thorntons money when its done

 

[matt trick]

Phenomenal deal, can't believe we got so lucky. Beyond the points, Hertl really, really drives posession, and I have to believe the old fellas feed off his energy.

Great deal!

$6M a year? This has to be the most overrated player in the entire league..

EDIT: My bad, OP changed it to $3M/Y and that's reasonable.

 

[Hictor Vedman*]

I wish to hell Kucherov would sign a bridge deal like this.

Nice job SJ.

 

[Wolfpuck]

That's a really nice bridge contract.

3m aav.

That's $3m/yr, first of all... I invite you to watch a Sharks game and then call Hertl 'overrated'. He's criminally underrated on these boards, to everyone but those who actually watch him.

Next time read the content properly before asserting something toxic.

 

[tfong]

Yep, thats pretty fair priced.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

DW with robbery.

 

[SenzZen]

Good for them.

Oh man this is good.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Think the extra dot indicates sarcasm....at least I hope so.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

decent deal I guess... im still on the fence with him.. only thing I really associate with him is that between the legs goal he scored a couple years ago. Has never really impressed me at all

 

[MC Ride]

It's a good deal now but bridge deals are always risky.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Good bridge, but he'll get paid in two years. I guess with Thornton and Marleau edging closer to retirement/decline it makes sense.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The people who watch him all the time love this deal. Maybe stay up late sometime and join us???

 

[SabresSharks]

Well done, Doug Wilson. Hertl has developed quite nicely after his knee injury setback.

haha im a west coast guy and watch a lot of Sharks games. Im not saying I don't like the guy, im just saying he has never really impressed me... but 2 year 6 mill is about right. Had to go bridge with him

Should have watched the playoffs this year.

That whole "divide-by-two" thing trips up a lot of people.

3M is Middle/Bottom 6 winger money. Hertl works so hard and is so good along the boards. 3M for the next 2 years is a steal. Displayed it all playoffs.
