The Vancouver Canucks are in all kinds of trade rumours right now, the hottest ones are that they are shopping for Owen Tippet of the Philadelphia Flyers, while many NHL teams are shopping hard for Kiefer Sherwood.
Sherwood is bringing in a lot of attention for his great play this season, and will not be too expensive when he hits free agency next summer.
"There are upwards of a dozen teams that have shown interest in Kiefer Sherwood over the last couple of weeks, with teams like the Boston Bruins and Minnesota Wild among those considered favourites to land him at this point."-Jaxon
Owen Tippet and Kiefer Sherwood are both on the chopping block.
Ankit Kumar of Sportskeeda reported on the latest rumours of the two players for their respective teams. The Canucks want to get younger so trading Sherwood for someone slightly younger, and then going after a young phenom like Tippet would accomplish that.
"Someone told me, you know how Canucks in Philadelphia, you're talking trade," Dhaliwal said. "Someone told me the Canucks really like Owen Tippett in Philly, but that would be a hard get, Donnie. That's not for Sherwood, just other stuff."-Rick Dhaliwal
Then when it comes to Sherwood there are several teams vying for his service, he has had a huge uptick in offensive production this year, and plays a hard solid game. An asset several teams are in need of this season.
"Wouldn't surprise me if two teams are showing more than passing interest in Sherwood. They're Minnesota and Montreal. Canuck scouted the Montreal Ottawa game last night. Could they be trying to get a young player like Zach Bolduc?"-Dhaliwal
The Canucks are in no rush to get deals done, they want to take their time and get the best deal possible. While many are upset that they aren't just going for the rebuild, at least they are being methodical about their approach.
