Boston Bruins Top Trade Target Set To Be Out Long-Term

San Jose Sharks center Tomáš Hertl will be out for several weeks due to knee surgery, placing him on injured reserve.

Despite being day-to-day with a lower-body injury, Hertl participated in the All-Star Game before opting for surgery.

His absence is significant, given his pivotal role in the team's lineup. With the Sharks struggling, Hertl's leadership and production will be sorely missed. As a key player for over a decade, his injury leaves a void in the Sharks' roster, requiring others to step up in his absence.




Additionally, with Hertl previously linked to the Boston Bruins in trade talks, this news may prompt the Bruins to explore other options.
