Rangers Target CanucksKiefer Sherwood as First-Round Price Emerges and Talks Stall

Talks remain far apart despite a reported $4 million, medium-term offer.

Overview

  • Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman says Vancouver re-engaged Sherwood’s camp on an extension but the sides remain far apart.
  • CHEK’s Rick Dhaliwal reports a medium-term offer around $4 million AAV, after a three-year, $3 million bid was floated last summer.
  • The Athletic’s Vince Mercogliano reports the Rangers have made Sherwood a primary target, though injuries to Igor Shesterkin and Adam Fox could alter their approach.
  • Multiple reports indicate Vancouver’s asking price begins with a first-round pick, and New York holds two 2026 firsts including Carolina’s.
  • Sherwood, 30, has 17 goals at midseason on a $1.5 million expiring deal, and analysts urge Vancouver to sell high as the rebuild follows the Quinn Hughes trade.
