Overview
- Elliotte Friedman reports the Canucks are letting Sherwood’s agent work with the club to facilitate a trade, echoing the approach used in the Quinn Hughes move.
- Rick Dhaliwal says Vancouver and Sherwood’s camp are aligned on expediting a move as the winger sits out with an upper‑body injury.
- TSN’s Chris Johnston reports the Rangers offered a young player plus a second‑round pick that Vancouver declined, and subsequent reporting indicates that offer may be off the table as New York shifts toward selling.
- San Jose is flagged as a team to watch based on its picks, prospects and cap space, with no reported concerns from suitors about Sherwood’s recent absence.
- Vancouver has sought a first‑round return, though insiders describe a more likely package closer to a second‑ and fourth‑round pick for the pending UFA with 17 goals and a $1.5 million cap hit.
