[@rickseuferer5418]

I’m happy for him to go to a contender instead of suffering through the rebuild.

[@JV-RC]

It’s fine for me to unload his salary, but to retain 17% and dump two draft picks for a gamble of a 2023 first rounder and a low 2025 first round pick doesn’t make any sense to me.

[@CLew9]

The retention is likely Vegas saying they would not take his contract on without it. We do not know what exactly happened behind closed doors, but Hertl waived his no move clause for this trade. It makes me think about Burns and Grier doing a favor to the old guard. At the end of the day Hertl wanted to play for Vegas

[@dankdank9837]

The nhl game won't even let me make this trade. What the actual fk just happened?

Hertl on that line with Thornton was amazing. I'll never forget. Cocks out for Hertl one last time.

[@prosperfireson]

Hey Brodie, Yeah, a tough day for the Teal Faithful to see another beloved Shark leave for greener pastures but, I completely agree that this was absolutely the right thing to do for all parties concerned. I can't sit here and say that I saw this trade for Hertl to Vegas coming but, honestly the Sharks two greatest assets remaining were Hertl and Couture. Both guys when they are healthy would be welcome additions to ANY team. I thought Couture might be the one to get traded but, the injury situation this season probably nixed that possibility and now that we have no other salary retention slots available it does not seem likely that we will be able to trade Couture assuming he is open to the idea. As far as foreseeing a trade for Hertl? Well, his clean out operation muddied that a bit but, it sounded to me like fairly minor stuff and that he was close to coming back when the trade happened. Assuming that was accurate I think trading Hertl makes a ton of sense. Given Thoms's history with his knees (I will never like Dustin Brown for what he did) it seems likely that his NHL career may not be as long as it might have been. At least that seems a reasonable assumption. Given that history and his age as you pointed out by the time we gain some inertia and synergy with our new young core of players developing Thomas will likely be in his mid 30's and quite possibly at the end of his career or at least of his ability to play at a high level that he is accustomed to. Given all those things it does make sense to let him have a chance to chase down a championship before he has to hang 'em up and he really cannot do much for us given our current state except mentor the young talent we are assembling which would be valuable but, do we have others who can fill that role? Yes, Couture, Granlund and Nico Sturm to name 3. Could Thomas do us a parting favor and allow us to use his value to accrue more prospects and picks? Yes, he can and he did. I don't know if that was the way it was presented to Thomas but, he seems such a caring and honorable guy I can imagine him thinking it was a chance for him to help his first and favorite team one last helping hand as he leaves the Tank as a Shark. Many players in Sharks history have been liked by the fans but, only a handful are beloved and Thomas is one of them. We will miss him and who knows? Maybe we will be lucky enough to see him return to Teal before he skates his last game in the NHL? We will miss you Thomas but, as Brodie said I wish you nothing but, the best and I hope that by this time next year you are sporting a Stanly Cup championship ring in your collection! All hail Hurricane Hertl! Peter St. John Clovis, CA

[@dancastro1225]

[@sharxfan16]

Grier has to be on the hot seat now. His strategy of trading for dead weight on expiring contracts to flip at the deadline has flamed out spectacularly, and he can no longer hide behind the excuse of being hamstrung by bad long term contracts. What a complete waste of a season.

[@eliashegstam3334]

Grier is doing what is necessary to rebuild the team that wilson destroyed. It will take many years but when we are back we will have a stacked roster thanks to the picks we are farming now. We can also start building up the team again now that burns, kalrsson, hertl and meiers contracts are gone

[@tonycouture5608]

I am worried that this was a hasty move by Mike Grier that happened under too much pressure at end of deadline period, and think that if Grier had the night to think this trade over, he would not trade Hertl. Perhaps he thinks that Edstrom can replace Hertl in 5 years after much more development. Grier is upsizing the Sharks and trading for bigger players, drafting bigger players, and trading away his smaller players to change the team identity and give it much more weight and hitting. It will still take years of development and much improvement in Sharks developmental staff to make this team a Stanley Cup contender in 5 or 6 years. It is just so long for Sharks fans to suffer and get buried in depression by the chronic losing. I think that trading away so many players and Hertl in particular made it more likely that Sharks will get very high draft picks this season and next season or beyond. I am wondering how coach David Quinn will react to the cards dealt to him and how he plans to finish the season without cracking up in despair. He may need strong medicine to fend off the nausea of being identified with such a losing team. Grier traded more players than I thought he would, but the returns were not great it seems as it was a buyers market in the end and they were not buying his losing Shark UFAs. I hope he signs Granlund to an extension and keeps him even if he is a smaller size player and not part of his plan to upsize the team.

[@dankdank9837]

[@imthebeatplug_8319]

This is the first time I've really questioned Mike Griers' leadership.

[@JV-RC]

I have a feeling Plattner is the mastermind. Grier is just his puppet.

[@YariAzQuran]

@@JV-RC Probably so. Plattner doesn't care two bits about the hockey side of things but now that revenue has dried up for his Sharks investment, it doesn't make sense to pay a guy like Hertl 8+mil for 6 more seasons so what does he have his puppet do, trade away the heart and soul of the franchise to the team's most hated rival so Plattner's bottom line in one of his many many investments isn't hurt. We're talking pennies for Plattner btw. Plattner values having a few more pennies in his pocket over his investment's fanbase's loyal fans.

[@JV-RC]

@@YariAzQuran This story of the current state of the franchise is shaping up to be strangely familiar. Here, we have an owner of a large company take over majority ownership of a professional sports franchise, generally absent from the public/fan's eye, behavior clearly not for the growth of the franchise/sport, and seemingly making the franchise bleed money in a deliberate fashion. This trend shows that Plattner's purchase of the SSE shares were to possibly operate the franchise at a loss to avoid having to pay taxes. When the Gund family was around, they were operating at low margins, but did their best to put out a solid product to the market. It's really upsetting.

[@JV-RC]

@@YariAzQuran I’m fairly certain that the motivation for Plattner to operate a us-based sports franchise at a loss is to help his taxes and maintain his wealth. This is fine. Seems similar to the playbook used by John Fisher. Just sad to see what this behavior does to local sports fans. Just wishing the Gund family was still involved. I think the franchise would be in a different position if the Gunds were still involved.

[@YariAzQuran]

@@JV-RC Excellent points all around. Agreed 😔

[@kasandrapurplekitten]

First the A's and now Hertl

[@Gnarrkillz]

There was no upside to this move. Grier ruined us for the long run, he will be fired in 1 or 2 years and we will remain directionless for another decade. This is one of the worst trades I have ever seen.

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

Grier gained 6.7 mill in cap room doing this trade. That is the main benefit and not risking a Hertl injury.

[@insanum666]

I'd trade an underperforming player on a bad contract in a second for whatever I could get. Technically 2 first round picks and 6 million dollars off the board? Thats pretty great return. Remember this, Vegas also has to have some benefit to the deal we cant just fleece any team that we want. This isn't NHL 24 GM mode

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

@@insanum666 Hertl was not really underperforming since the sharks overall roster made his stats worse. It was not a great return either since another team in the offseason might have let the sharks keep both those 3rd round picks or they paid the 1.4 mill the sharks have to retain. I doubt the sharks get 2 firsts though but no way to know. Hertl should have never been give that bad contract in the first place by Doug Wilson because the team was already bad. One guy claimed Hertl requested a trade and another said only Stone getting hurt made it possible for the sharks to trade him before the offseason. If Grier could have waited to trade him in the offseason and not lost what he did he should have. Not having to worry about him getting hurt and spending his 6.7 mill on prospects or vets to flip on 1 year deals is better for a rebuild though. Some knights fans claim that David Edstrom is good and if he is than the trade is a lot better than many think.

[@insanum666]

@@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Maybe Hertl underperforming was a bit of a stretch, but I don't mind the trade really at all. Your talk of an offseason deal is speculative. We dont know what will happen between now and the offseason. The thing is, the Knights need Hertl now. I think I am of the mind that no one would be interested in him in the offseason. I feel as though the VGK were one of the only teams to ask for him. But now I'm speculating! Lmao As Hertl is an older player with maybe a few good years left in him before his decline, it's good for the sharks to trade him now. The VGK want to trade for a player that will have a few good peak years left. And not someone at the end of their peak going into a decline. It's what the Sharks used to do when we were good. I have an issue with the 3rd round picks, I feel as Grier maybe could have squeezed his way around those picks somehow but since they are 2025 and 2027 we have plenty of time to recoup those picks and I bet Edstrom will be a stud 3rd line center

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

@@insanum666 There is many unknown factors from Hertl asking to be traded "as he approved the trade" and how afraid is Grier of Hertl getting injured. Grier might have been able to keep both of the thirds had he traded him in the offseason. We do not have the info though but the 6.7 mill of cap room and no injury risk is better for a rebuilding team. Some fans who are upset at Grier do not have his side of the story. If Hertl did ask for a trade my view would change on that trade. Even paying a player around as good as Hertl 5 mill a year and a 1 year contract where that player is told he will be flipped at the deadline would be better than a long contract like Hertl has. The Hertl contract did not help the sharks win or rebuild.

[@Soundtracks92]

Hey at least Hertl will have a better chance of winning the Stanley Cup now. The Sharks ain’t goin anywhere for at least a few more years

[@moonglow630]

Absolutely sick to my stomach over this one. Came on to comment, but can’t even watch the video I’m so upset. Hertl was the heart of the team & the closest thing we had left to a franchise player. Once again Grier gets rid of the guy you should be building the team around. With Logan being out, Hertl has been the de facto captain all season long. Hertl was instrumental in those exciting come from behind wins on the roadtrip in December. Hertl has always put the pressure on himself & delivered. Back in the end of game 5 of round 1 our last playoff run, Hertl guaranteed the boys would be back at The Tank for game 6. He followed through on that promise by scoring in OT Vegas sending the series to that infamous game 7. Grier seems hell bent on dismantling everything that DW put together, both on & off the ice. This team has no identity. Anything that made them the least bit exciting,fun, familiar, or palatable is now gone. In the past 6yrs, we’ve managed to get rid of every All Star & leading scorer on the team. Is it any wonder we are where we are?? When the NHL Network announcers are left speechless by the trade, you know it’s not good. I actually have a trip booked to see the Sharks in a couple wks(season tix but live in WA). I really have no desire now. Was looking forward to seeing Simek on the Barracuda, & now that’s gone too. Just no happiness associated with them now.

[@MrBayAreaRealEstate]

Terrible decision to trade Hertl to Vegas. I understand the trade concept of getting him off the books and the Sharks rebuild timeline. At least trade him to an Eastern Conference team. No justification to allow Vegas to get even stronger, with Hertl. The return is not great either. Hertl wasn't going anywhere, trading him could have waited. I believe Grier hit the panic button on this trade. It didn't need to happen at the deadline. Not like Sharks are needing the cap space next season. Regarding Mark Stone, I doubt he is seriously hurt, he could probably play right now, Vegas clearly discovered the loophole with the LTIR and are leveraging it to their benefit. The NHL should investigate the Stone injury, but I doubt they care, Vegas having a good team is a big revenue stream for the league that they cannot get in any other city.

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

Dont blame Vegas they are doing nothing wrong and theres no reason to hate Hertl he was TRADED . San Jose shouldnt hate knights they were handled one of the worst phantom penalties later and helped lead to winning a series . Im not a knights fan BTW . Having said that i love your podcasts .

[@user-mf9ye1un4q]

Nope, that penalty in game seven was legitimate and Las Vegas deserved even more penalties.

[@cordellrichmond6557]

And they wouldn't of needed to worry about that if they won Game 5 or 6. Plus, them choking against SJ inspired them to actually go all the way and win the Cup years later. 2019 is in the past now. And the Knights aren't being blamed for anything. They'll pay the piper later on, once they need to sort out the cap.

Everyone needs fired. From Grier, your old buddy Tom, all the coaches and the team should be sold. Bring back Jay Woodcroft!
