The San Jose Sharks re-signed restricted free agent Tomas Hertl to a four-year contract Monday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Hertl, 24, recorded 22 goals and 24 assists in 79 games with San Jose this past season.

“Tomas took a big step forward last season, both on and off the ice, and we feel that he is just starting to hit his prime,” Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said in a release. “He has the ability to be a dominant player in this league and proved during the playoffs that he can take over any given game with his combination of skill and strength.

“His capability to play both centre and the wing gives our team some flexibility, and he has one of the most infectious personalities in our dressing room. We’re excited he made this commitment to our organization.”

San Jose selected Hertl 17th overall in the 2012 NHL Draft.
