They will probably need to find 8 mil to keep him. That's going to be difficult with the cap situation the Rangers have. I would think you could move Nemeth or Lindgren or maybe both and Chytil but you still have to replace that depth lost. I think the blue liners could be easily replaced but there's a lot up front to replace if they try to keep Hertl past this season.

Would be a dereliction of duty from Sweeney to not do everything he can to try to get Hertl if he's available. He'd be the perfect fit for 2C for the next few years. Giving up Lysell for him would be pretty rough, I think that 1st + lesser prospect (say, Studnicka) would be more palatable for most Bruins fans.
MN fans like them too, just realize that landing Hertl would take a serious offer. ROR would be easier to let go because they also Have Lambos, Hunt, and Peart as LHD prospects. Marat is more of a need (C), but his recent signing of a two year contract with the KHL makes him a bit less desirable.
Hertl is so distinct from what our centers are. Would round out this team well. And he is a better player than his point totals. He and Panarin would never give up the puck together.
If we can resign him I'd give up 1st + chytil in a heartbeat
Hertl’s point totals are “low” this year because his most common linemates have been Barabanov, Balcers, and Gregor.
Barabanov has been surprisingly good, but Balcers is a 3W and Gregor is a 4W.
Barabanov is also a UFA and should be available too. Not a liability in his own end, good playmaker and has been on a 56 point pace since coming to SJ.
Thanks. Hertl would look so good with Panarin and strome at RW. Make it happen Drury.

What the deuce
Yup Hertl is a 60 point player with Barabanov attached to his hip, along with whatever other bottom-sixer Bob plays with them. I would love to watch him with Panarin.

Not it is not. In recent years the Sharks have almost always been able to re-sign cornerstone guys in their late-20s/early-30s (not always to to best contracts, I know), so the idea of Hertl leaving is strange and a real bummer. I'd argue he's the heart and soul of the team right now.

Hertl and Panarin would be absolutely insane. Could see Hertl scoring at a 80-90 point pace with him.
I don't really expect that to happen. Players points totals never go up that much. But his totals and whoever we have at RW could go up 10 and they could be a better defensive line.
He was at an 70 point pace just last year with Kane and a revolving door of players on the RW.
I don’t think 10 more points over 82 playing with Panarin and Strome would be far fetched.

Wow. I feel if you're Boston you take that and run. Hertl is a known commodity and while Lysell has a lot of promise, nothing is guaranteed for him. Hertl keeps that championship window open for you at least 3 more years.

You're tellin me. I just see the writing on the wall. We all know as Sharks fans, if you want any hope of reopening the window to contention you have to make some really tough decisions and stock the cupboard for the future.This thread makes me sad

As a NYR fan, I'd do this easily if I felt NYR could sign Hertl after this season. (With an extension, the deal is obviously a lot more, but I don't see one happening and I don't know if Rangers can really afford this going forward).
This trade obviously makes Strome gone, but the increase will hurt. Rangers already have too many prospects that will have no opportunity to make the team, so the draft picks right now aren't as needed as they were a few years ago.

I don't think we have room for him this season. And with Barabanov needing a new deal, it doesn't really make sense.

He would need to do everything, the trade shouldnt be palatable, it should hurt.
Every team in the league can beat a 1st plus studnicka

Is it a certainty that Hertl leaves though? I would think if anything the Sharks would be focused on re-signing Hertl ahead of everything else?

1st + Adam Ruzicka (22yo, 6'4 LHC, 16 points 10 goals in 13 AHL games this season.) for the rental of Hertl.
I would pay more if there was extension negotiations and confirmation as part of the trade.
