Overview
- Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported Vancouver presented a new extension offer to Kiefer Sherwood this week.
- Friedman said there remains a sizable gap between the sides and no timeline has been set for a decision.
- Iain McIntyre noted Sherwood has a case to earn roughly $4–5 million annually on the open market, complicating a rich deal in Vancouver.
- Management has signaled a plan to move veteran UFAs following the Quinn Hughes trade, making a deal likely if negotiations stall.
- Sherwood is having a career year with strong goal scoring, heavy physical play, and special-teams minutes, and he has expressed a desire to stay in Vancouver.
