Golden Knights' Tomas Hertl: Acquired by Golden Knights

Hertl, who is on injured reserve with a knee injury, was traded to Vegas from San Jose along with third-round selections in 2025 and 2027 on Friday in exchange for David Edstrom and a 2025 first-round pick. The Sharks will retain 17 percent of Hertl's cap hit, per Darren Dreger of TSN.

Hertl, who is in just the second season of an eight-year, $65.1 million contract, will likely be moved to long-term injured reserve to help Vegas accommodate this trade. The 30-year-old hasn't played since Jan. 27 and underwent knee surgery Feb. 12. When Hertl is healthy, he will become a key figure in Vegas' top-six forward corps. He had 15 goals and 34 points in 48 outings with the Sharks before the trade.
