Just this week he put out multiple quotes saying he's in negotiations to stay and wants to stay. Would be an abrupt change of course for him to ask for a trade. I also think the Sharks are desperate to keep him cause they're desperate to not tank.

More like Joe Will painted a rosy picture of negotiations and Hertl threw cold water on it when questioned by the media. The only reason Hertl would re-sign with the Sharks is if he never wants to win anything.

Calling Robertson a top prospect is being overly generous. The Sharks aren't going to move Hertl for someone who is just now coming back from a pretty bad injury while not really being someone that has lit it up professionally thus far. Sharks can do better than that.
If you are calling a fractured leg that fully heals in 10 weeks "a pretty bad injury", what did you call Hertl tearing his MCL and ACL?

So sharks can trade him and resign him in July . He could be asking 9 mil + new contract

Hertl has the call where he wants to go . Robertson is a prospect with potential, the same as a pick

I'm debating the level of his potential here. I wouldn't classify him as top or one the Sharks need to value much.

You called Hertl tearing his MCL and ACL "a proven player compared to a prospect"?

What is the purpose of comparing injury levels of players in this context. Robertson's injury was a serious one. A quick return doesn't negate that. The inevitable point comes back to the kid being unproven compared to one that is. The injuries are not the same anyway so that changes how much of a problem it tends to be.

He’s ranked top 18 prospects , caufield is # 2.

The point was that your argument alludes to Robertson being damaged goods, and you were using a fractured leg that fully healed in 10 weeks as misleading info on his potential.

It is fine if you don't like the return, or doubt his potential as a prospect, (for the record, I am not really high on Robertson either), but you are arguing that he is not a top prospect, when he is Toronto's top prospect.

Maybe you are misunderstanding the term top prospect?

Top prospect usually refers to the top prospect in an organization. It does not refer to top 25 or 50 prospect in the league. That would be worded "top 25" or "top 50" prospect in the league".

Considering he has scored at a 65+ (Might be 60 in the first one) point pace in the 4 seasons following the tear yes.

The question had nothing to do with production, perceived prospect trajectory or anything else. It was just a comment on the misleading post that Robertson was damaged goods.

Re-read the exchange, it was just a simple question calling out some misinformation.

Obviously the tear was a serious injury. Your question calling out was stupid. Obviously it was a serious injury and we all said the same at the time. Difference is Hertl has shown it doesn’t affect his game. Robertson hasn’t had the time to yet.

Hertl:

- isn't getting any retention
-will cost multiple firsts, probably add from there

taking away stuff from your already mediocre proposal doesn't your thread there, OP

Hertl has a 3 team trade clause , so I guess he chooses where he wants to go . Buffalo , Seattle or Toronto . Go get the deal done . The sharks can keep him and lose him for nothing

Hertl's injury was not the point of the post. I was not inferring that Hertl's injury was not serious, nor that you did not think it to be so at the time.

My sarcasm was obviously too obtuse for this discussion, so please disregard it entirely and carry on ;)
