Briefly

Should Mike Grier pay up and keep Kiefer Sherwood, or is it better to part ways?
"There are a lot of things that are trending in the right direction, a lot of young players here that have bright futures. I love the energy and the joy and the fun that they have."
"He kind of fits the identity of what we want to be as a team. He's what this team needs, as far as someone who plays with some sandpaper, some grit, some speed, some physicality."
"A hard-nosed, elite forechecker not shy about getting under the skin of his opponents, with a scoring touch to boot, Sherwood checks a lot of boxes for the Sharks."
Kiefer Sherwood was acquired by the San Jose Sharks from Vancouver on January 19 for two second-round draft picks. Since joining the team, Sherwood has expressed appreciation for the organization's young talent and positive environment. However, contract extension negotiations between Sherwood's camp and the Sharks remain unresolved. Sherwood previously sought a contract exceeding $5 million annually. General manager Mike Grier values Sherwood as a hard-nosed forechecker with grit, speed, and physicality who fits the team's identity. With the trade deadline approaching, the Sharks may trade Sherwood rather than risk losing him as a free agent without compensation.
