Overview
- Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports Vancouver made a renewed extension offer this week to pending UFA Kiefer Sherwood, but a sizable gap remains.
- Sherwood is having a career season with 17 goals and 21 points in 41 games, elevating his value on the trade market.
- Multiple clubs are linked, with reporting naming the Canadiens, Stars, Wild, Bruins and Red Wings among the suitors, and local coverage highlighting interest from Dallas and Boston.
- Prevailing chatter pegs the asking price around a first‑round pick plus a prospect, with Sherwood’s $1.5 million cap hit enhancing his appeal.
- The 30‑year‑old has no trade protection and is eligible for unrestricted free agency on July 1, and though he has expressed a desire to stay in Vancouver, talks to date have not bridged the gap.
