The Vegas Golden Knights have acquired forward Tomas Hertl from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward David Edstrom, a 1st-round pick in 2025, and 3rd-round picks in 2025 and 2027.

At some point, you’d think hockey fans would direct their ire at their own GMs for getting played by McCrimmon/Vegas rather than throw a tantrum with baseless accusations towards us. Oh well.

This is an incredible pick up. Even in the depths of our rivalry I thought hertl and couture were two sharks I’d take in a heart beat. He’ll fit right in. He’s played so well against us. Getting him with a team with our compete is huge.

We have no draft next year. Really hope we can go back to back with Sir Stanley.

Anyone know a grief counselor you can send over to the sharks Reddit? Salty over there 🤣

Can we still afford Marchessault next year?

We need to start winning games now lol

Let’s burn this MFer to the ground! Hertl is legit one of the only guys from that 2018 San Jose team that I ever wanted to have on the Knights (the other is Timo Meier)

Holy shit. Big moves

this is sick but it would be an all time embarrassment if they pull these huge moves and miss the playoffs. the playoffs start saturday.

I was sure they were going to do something else, but Hertl was NOT on my radar AT ALL.

Darren Dreger clarified that the the 3rd rounders are ours, not San Jose’s.
So we got Hertl and two 3rd rounders for Edstrom and a 1st rounder. This is insane.

I actually feel kind of (but not really) bad for SJ, mostly just their fans because imagine watching their currently dogshit team night after night and then losing your best player to one of your biggest rivals for basically peanuts. That has to sting pretty fuckin bad.
That’s the extent of my empathy. Welcome, Hertl!

I really don’t like that we gave up Edstrom, I was really looking forward to seeing him play for us.

We are wheeling and dealing holy shit! Such an amazing deal! What Jedi mind tricks are we using on these other teams??

This genuinely might be our craziest trade deadline to date and so far I like at a minimum 2/3rds of the trades but think I’ll come around on Mantha if he shoots more than others will

Hertl had a full NMC, so he had to agree to being traded here. I imagine he’s super motivated to try and push us to another cup…

God damn the hockey sub is pissed off 😂
