2012 – Clearing every Hertl
Total games played for the Sharks:865 games
Player with the greatest impact for the Sharks:Tomas Hertl (453 games)
For the second year in a row, the Sharks had six picks in the draft. Out of these six selections, two-thirds would play for the team at some point. You read that right — FOUR out of the six Sharks’ picks from the 2012 draft have played for the team at some point.
These players are 17th-overall pick centerTomas Hertl(453 games), 55th-overall pick centerChris Tierney(284 games), 138th-overall pick centerDanny O’Regan, and 198th-overall pick defensemanJoakim Ryan(106 games).
Hertl, being the only player from this draft left on the team and playing more than half the games from this class, has definitely been the most impactful player from the draft. So far, he’s scored 280 points (132 goals, 148 assists) during his time with the Sharks.
