"We are very excited to have Kiefer remain in San Jose and be part of the group that we are building. The ingredients he brings to our line-up on a nightly basis blend extremely well with the skillsets of his teammates, and we look forward to his contributions in the years to come."
"It's likely I need to recalibrate market rates with how much every player is getting and how much space every team has. But this still feels pretty rich for Sherwood and five years of term for a 31-year-old feels especially scary."
"Sherwood can help form an impactful second or third line alongside players like Alex Wennberg and Tyler Toffoli, offering the Sharks a veteran presence that should set San Jose up for the playoffs moving forward."
The San Jose Sharks announced a new contract for forward Kiefer Sherwood worth $5.75 million annually through the 2029-2030 season, just weeks after acquiring the 30-year-old. General Manager Mike Grier expressed enthusiasm about Sherwood's fit within the team's lineup. While some analysts consider the deal expensive for a player who has never scored 20 goals in a season, the rising salary cap has shifted market rates across the league. Sherwood is expected to serve as a veteran presence on the second or third line alongside players like Alex Wennberg and Tyler Toffoli, providing depth and flexibility for potential injuries.
