The Vancouver Canucks are parting ways with a productive winger.
Pending unrestricted free agent Kiefer Sherwood was traded to the San Jose Sharks for two second-round picks (2026 and 2027) and defenceman Cole Clayton on Monday, the teams announced.
Sherwood, 30, has 17 goals this season through 44 games, just two off his career high of 19 set last season with the Canucks.
He is in the final year of a two-year, $3-million contract he signed with the Canucks. He’s been out of the lineup since Jan. 10 due to an undisclosed injury.
The native of Columbus, Ohio, has 60 goals and 61 assists for 121 career points with the Canucks, Nashville Predators, Colorado Avalanche and Anaheim Ducks.
The undrafted Sherwood broke into the NHL with the Ducks in 2018 after playing NCAA hockey at Miami University in Ohio.
