I know it feels like this are back to normal, but I would like to remind everyone that the season started a month later than usual and the trade deadline isn’t until March 21, 2022. So can everyone please get Tomas Hertl’s name out of their mouths while also talking about the trade deadline? I’m tired.
Am I worried about the fact that Hertl doesn’t have a new contract yet? No. This is not the first season that the San Jose Sharks have thought the season could go a number of ways, so play the season first and deal with contracts later.
