Ben Shelley: Sharks sign Tomas Hertl to eight-year contract extension

If they can sign Timo Meier and Eklund rounds into a top player, they could have something to build around.

So Meier is gonna get 10M? All these 8m contract seem pretty crazy but Hertl is a good player of course

Karlsson’s contract hurt this team’s future.

I like Hertl a lot, but that's A LOT in cap hit AND term for a 28 year old who is basically a consistent 55 pointer. Maybe if he was 23-24 and had those potential years for more or had at least one breakout year of great numbers, but I doubt he even has another 60 point year for the rest of the contract.

Hope it works for you guys…

Umm, he's been over a .75 ppg (60 points) player for 4 years now, with the outlier being when he was 26, where he was still pacing 61 points. Every other year, he's pacing closer to being a 65-70 point guy. He'll break 60 points this year easily. You thinking of the right guy? Injury concerns would be the only thing with this contract imo.

Draisaitl at 8.5 looking better and better


til 2025 when it jumps to 12+
