Good for Stalock, sharks horribly mismanaged him his time up with the big club, if he was just going to be opening the door they shouldve sent him back down and brought Sateri up. Fucking waste IMO, of the two he needed the most ice time coming back from that injury

The goalie position has been horribly mismanaged since McLellan got to San Jose for the most part.

Any news on how he plays? I remember him being a pretty small guy? But he was drafted this last year, still lots of room to grow.

He's the prototypical Sharks middle round pick. Strong skater who's very good at both ends of the ice. Currently listed at 170lbs he does need to fill out his frame and add strength. Offensively he's been held back by playing on one of the worst teams in the Q.

Haha wow 10 SOG? Hopefully these guys will provide some scoring punch in call ups next year.

Who? Lol Tomas hertl? I just remember everyone bitching about him, has he done anything since being drafted?

He had a very good year in the Czech league and a strong showing at the WHC. He's improved his skating to the point it won't be a liability at the NHL level. He's playing at a level that he could contribute at a 3rd line level with spot duty on a scoring line.

They drafted him as an 18 year old right?

Here's the most recient write up on him. It's from an HFBoards staff member.

Prospect of the Year: Tomas Hertl, C, Slavia Praha HC (ELH)

It does not matter what league or tournament Tomas Hertl played in during the 2012-13 season, it seemed like every time he laced up his skates he put on a show. Not since Logan Couture has San Jose had such a high potential offensive powerhouse in their prospect pool.

Not only did Hertl lead his club team, Slavia Praha HC, in scoring (only Dan O’Regan did this among other Sharks prospects) but he did it as the team’s youngest player. He was clearly the best player for the Czech Republic at this winter's World Juniors, where he and Sean Kuraly were the only Sharks in attendance. It would not be until he was on a good World Championship squad in May, playing relegated minutes, that Hertl finally looked something other than superman.

Gifted with a terrific shot, excellent puck-moving skills, and above average skating, Hertl holds legitimate NHL potential and looks to be well on his way to becoming a front line player for years to come. Realistically, even after such a great season, Hertl is still at least a year away from being NHL ready, although the Sharks could potentially bring him to the fold earlier. There is no doubt though, Hertl is the best prospect that the sharks have.

Hell yeah, this is great news. Finally Doug goes to Europe to get talent and it looks like it will pay off. Now let's hope that when Hertl goes to Woosta that his development isn't stunted by what Sommer is doing.

 

[Cbrower91]

Good thing about finally having depth and drafting young players can develop instead of being rushed

 

[Cmon_WTF]

Hertl has signed an entry level contract with the Sharks.
