wrote in The Athletic<\/a> on Friday. \u201cIt\u2019s more likely than not he\u2019s moved if the Sharks can\u2019t extend him over the next week.\u201d<\/p>\nThe San Jose Sharks, on Jan. 19, acquired pending UFA Sherwood from the Vancouver Canucks for a pair of second-round picks. This was a surprise at the time, the first time that the Sharks had added an impact player for the playoff push before the Trade Deadline since 2019.<\/p>\n
Sherwood, however, had an upper-body injury at the time of the deal, and didn\u2019t get healthy until right before the early February Olympic break.<\/p>\n
Consequently, Sherwood has only played two games with the San Jose Sharks, coinciding with a downturn in the team\u2019s fortunes, too.<\/p>\n
San Jose has lost their five-straight, falling five points behind the last wild card spot in the West.<\/p>\n
So it\u2019s decision time for the San Jose Sharks with 30-year-old winger Sherwood: The price is, reportedly, about $30 million for an extension. LeBrun suggested that the Sharks had some sticker shock with that price tag. Also, Sherwood, at $1.5 million AAV right now, and his playoff-style of hockey, would be very in-demand on the market.<\/p>\n
LeBrun did note that Sherwood wants to sign with San Jose.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s conceivable, however, for GM Mike Grier to get his seconds back, or maybe even a late first-rounder.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s shaping up to be a pivotal week for the San Jose Sharks organization: They\u2019ve got a back-to-back this weekend, two of their three games before the Mar. 6 Trade Deadline, which could cement them as buyers or sellers at the Deadline.<\/p>\n
And now, there appears to be a clock on Sherwood\u2019s time in teal, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello and goodbye, Kiefer Sherwood? \u201cThe Sharks are open to the possibility of flipping Sherwood if they can\u2019t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,11200,41681,60507,88,90,89,98,3236,10559,62644],"class_list":{"0":"post-197356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-jose","8":"tag-featured","9":"tag-free-agent","10":"tag-kiefer-sherwood","11":"tag-pierre-lebrun","12":"tag-san-jose","13":"tag-san-jose-headlines","14":"tag-san-jose-news","15":"tag-san-jose-sharks","16":"tag-trade","17":"tag-trade-deadline","18":"tag-ufa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
