Outlook Tomas Hertl
Hertl offers dependable middle-round value with robust power-play upside
Tomas Hertl enters the campaign established as Vegas’ second-line center and a primary net-front fixture. The 32-year-old veteran proved his durability over the past two seasons, posting 59 points and 211 shots on goal in 2025 while anchoring top-six minutes.
Special teams and physical peripherals provide Hertl with a remarkably sturdy floor. He converted 13 power-play tallies and 26 power-play points last season while logging 126 hits. Our projection closely aligns with that baseline, forecasting 24 goals, 34 assists, and 25 power-play points over 82 games.
With an ADP hovering near 126, Hertl is an appealing target in middle-to-late rounds. Our models see him outperforming his draft slot as a safe depth center who supplies high-end power-play production and reliable hits without requiring premium draft capital.
