Kiefer Sherwood Traded to Sharks, Leaves Canucks as Record-Holder

Kiefer Sherwood has been traded from the Vancouver Canucks to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for two second-round picks and defenseman Cole Clayton. Sherwood, a fan-favorite and team leader in goals, is an unrestricted free agent at season's end. He set a new NHL single-season record with 460 hits in 2024-25, finishing his Canucks tenure with 36 goals, 27 assists, and 670 hits. Teammates praised his energy, leadership, and impact as a late bloomer. He previously scored his first NHL hat trick and received the Fred J. Hume "Unsung Hero" Award.
