Vancouver Canucks notify NHL general managers of their huge asking price for Kiefer Sherwood

After making their pending unrestricted free agents and some veteran players available on the NHL's trade market in late November, several members of the Vancouver Canucks' roster are already drawing interest from teams around the league, including forward Kiefer Sherwood.

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.

While making an appearance on The Sheet with Jeff Marek, National Hockey League insider David Pagnotta gave some insight into what the asking price is for Kiefer Sherwood.

According to Pagnotta, the Vancouver Canucks are hoping they'll be able to land a first round pick, as well as another asset in exchange for the 30-year-old winger leading up to the deadline on Friday, March 6th.

While some teams will certainly balk at that price, which is understandable not just because it's a lot to give up for someone who might only be a rental, but the first round of the 2026 NHL Entry Draft is quite deep and it might be hard to get a General Manager to part with that asset.

However, with the amount of teams that are already showing interest in Kiefer Sherwood this early on, with exactly three months to go until the trade deadline, there's a good chance that Patrik Allvin and the Vancouver Canucks' management staff will get what they want and potentially even more, if a bidding war ensues.



For now, the Canucks are going to remain patient and aren't in a rush to trade Kiefer Sherwood or any of their pending unrestricted free agents, but perhaps after the holiday roster freeze, we could see action begin to pick up on the trade market, perhaps even including the Columbus, Ohio native.
