Sharks Top 10 prospects: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=679492&navid=nhl:topheads
1. Tomas Hertl, C: Hertl will enter training camp ready and able to crack the Sharks' opening-day roster. He was taken 17th in the 2012 NHL Draft, and so far the 19-year-old has exceeded all expectations. Last season the Czech Republic native led his hometown team, HC Slavia Praha, with 18 goals and 30 points in 43 games despite being the youngest player on the team.
After a sensational season in the competitive Czech Extraliga, Hertl signed a three-year, entry-level contract June 4. Most prognosticators have Hertl starting the season on the second line alongside Joe Thornton and Brent Burns, replacing TJ Galiardi, who was traded to the Calgary Flames.
If Hertl cracks the roster, expect the 6-foot-2, 200-pound forward to display a willingness to battle for the puck and an ability to make a play with it.

That would be really interesting to see him paired up with Jumbo and Burnsy. That's a big line. 6-2 200 / 6-4 235 / 6-5 230. Lot of scoring potential there and some big-time performers and mentors for Hertl to learn from.

Seriously? I liked the new ones. But honestly, if they don't stray too far from what we've got, they'll still look awesome. What do the rumored "new new" jerseys look like?

Something tells me that new jerseys does not mean there's any real attention taken away from winning.

I think they'll look better by decreasing the amount of orange. Even if it's a subtle change, it's all about the merchandising revenue.
