Canucks Enlist Sherwood’s Agent To Accelerate Trade Talks Before Deadline

Vancouver is using the Quinn Hughes playbook to boost leverage in a buyer search before March 6.

Overview

  • Elliotte Friedman reports the Canucks have authorized agent Judd Moldaver to work with the team to help facilitate a Sherwood deal.
  • Chris Johnston says the Rangers previously offered a young player with pedigree plus a second-round pick, an offer Vancouver declined.
  • Rick Dhaliwal identifies the Sharks as a team to watch because they have draft capital, prospects and the cap space to make a deal.
  • Sherwood, 30, is a pending unrestricted free agent with a $1.5 million cap hit and 17 goals and 23 points in 44 games this season.
  • He has missed recent games with an upper-body injury, yet reporting indicates interested clubs are not discouraged by his status.
