Leafs And Sharks: A Perfect Trade Match as Hertl Seeks Exit from San Jose
The Toronto Maple Leafs, eyeing a Stanley Cup run, are on the lookout to bolster their roster. Although their primary need is in defense, enhancing their offensive depth is also a priority. The San Jose Sharks, in the midst of a rebuild and looking to offload assets, are a suitable trade partner. Tomas Hertl, seeking a new beginning, appears to be a good match for the Leafs.

San Jose aims to move Hertl, who has 7 years remaining on his contract. A trade with Toronto would likely involve San Jose retaining part of Hertl's salary and possibly including defenseman Ty Emberson to strengthen the Leafs' defense.
Leafs Might Trade Domi to Acquire Hertl
To accommodate Hertl's contract, the Leafs could trade Max Domi, their productive third-liner. Despite Domi's impact and the nostalgia he brings to the Leafs' fanbase, his lack of goals is a concern, making Hertl a potential upgrade.
