Have a source with the Sharks. San Jose is deciding whether to flip Hertl for a 1st and prospect or keep him and sign him to a 5 year extension. San Jose's preference is to re-sign him but it's up to the player. He wanted out with the Kane situation but since it looks like that will take care of itself, that he is open to staying. The decision will be made based on if the Sharks are in contention closer to the deadline.
Hertl for any contending team for a playoff run would be a good add. He's a solid player.
