Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin has released a statement on Monday morning after the club traded Kiefer Sherwood to the San Jose Sharks.
The day that Vancouver Canucks fans were waiting for finally arrived as Kiefer Sherwood's time in the Lower Mainland officially came to a close after 122 games.
On Monday morning, the Vancouver Canucks announced that they've traded Kiefer Sherwood to the San Jose Sharks and received a pair of second round picks (2026 & 2027), as well as 25-year-old defenseman Cole Clayton in return.
"Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the club acquired Cole Clayton and 2nd round picks in both the 2026 and 2027 NHL Entry Drafts from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Kiefer Sherwood." the Canucks said in a press release.
Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin releases statement following Kiefer Sherwood trade
For the last month, the Vancouver Canucks had their sights set on landing a first round pick, as well as another asset, in return for Kiefer Sherwood, but with the way the market is at the moment, there weren't many teams that were willing to bite the bullet and give that piece up for the 30-year-old winger.
Because of that, the Canucks pivoted, with reports circulating earlier today that they finally agreed to drop their asking price for Kiefer Sherwood in an effort to get a deal done quickly.
"Hearing trade talks involving #Canucks F Kiefer Sherwood continue. Per sources, Vancouver's initial ask of a 1st+ is softening, which may now get things going sooner than later." David Pagnotta said on X.
Shortly after the trade was announced, Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin released a statement, thanking Sherwood for his hard work and with the club being in a rebuild, this was a move that they needed to make before the deadline in March.
"We would like to thank Kiefer for all his hard work and dedication in Vancouver. As an organization, we take a lot of pride in giving him the opportunity to grow and excel as a player. Given where things currently stand and the direction of our rebuild, we felt it was necessary to make a move like this as we continue to build our pipeline. In addition to adding two draft picks, Cole is a right-shot defenceman who will report to Abbotsford." Allvin said.
Sherwood, a native of Columbus, Ohio, finished his time in Vancouver with 63 points (36 goals, 27 assists), 57 penalty minutes, 672 hits and was a minus-13.
The Former Canuck will make his return to Rogers Arena next week as the San Jose Sharks make the trip to Vancouver on January 27th for a 7 p.m. PT puck drop.
