The Golden Knights have acquired forward Tomas Hertl, a 2025 third-round pick and 2027 third-round choice from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a 2025 first-round pick and forward David Edstrom.
Hertl has six seasons remaining on an eight-year, $65.1 million contract he signed in March 2022. The Sharks holding back 17% of Hertl's salary leaves his cap hit at $6.75 million for Vegas to carry. The 30-year-old also had a full no-move clause he would have had to waive to join the Golden Knights. But Hertl won't be stepping right into their lineup. The veteran has been sidelined since having surgery Feb. 12 to clean out loose cartilage in his left knee.
Moving from San Jose to Vegas takes Hertl from one of the NHL's worst teams this season to a legitimate contender. And while the Sharks have struggled throughout the season -- and sit 31st overall -- Hertl has played well, collecting 15 goals and 34 points in 48 games.
On Vegas' end, it had no projected salary cap space before grabbing Hertl and will have to figure out how to fit his hit into the team's long-term plans. Since Hertl is injured now and there is no salary cap compliance mandated in the postseason, the Knights can avoid ironing out that situation until before next season.
