Tomas Hertl agrees to terms with SJ. Two years, $6M.

Nice little bridge deal right there. Still has yet to recapture that insane run he had in 2013-14, but still a very promising young talent.

[CroFlames]

Reasonable for club and player.

[StrykerSteve]

That's a great deal for the Sharks. Tremendous value if he has another season like this past year.

[bigrangy]

Solid bridge. I would have gone long term with Hertl if possible, he's going to be a great player.

Good deal for the Sharks. Another contract comparable for Colborne, this time a much more reasonable one.

I see it more as a comparable for Bennett next year

Hertl has similar consistency issues and numbers to Colborne, I think this is roughly what Colborne will cost to sign. Hertl is three years younger, though.

[Red Menace]

Colborne can't demand more than Hertl can he?

[Poe969]

someone has to post the obligatory Thornton rooster pic.

I thought it said $6M per and I panicked a little when comparing it to our FAs.

If Andrew Shaw can, Colborne can.

It's clear that Hertl too a good deal for the team to help them stay contenders

I thought the same. And thought it was nuts. As it is it's a great deal.

I did too but only because I didn't think he would sign for $3 million
