"Scoring nine goals in 13 games, tied as the second-highest goal scorer in the NHL, Kiefer Sherwood has really found another gear in his game so far this season, and is looking like somebody the Canucks could heavily shop if their situation isn't great at the trade deadline. The Canucks haven't started as they would have liked to, but middle six guys like Sherwood performing how they are is exactly the attitude they need while they try to figure out their slump and offensive issues,"
"As a physical power forward, Sherwood really has taken advantage of scoring issues for the Canucks, and really put his front foot forward, taking everything in his stride to help his team. After joining Vancouver last season, Sherwood has already put up almost half of his goals total from last season, and is really growing into his role as a heavy netfront presence."
Kiefer Sherwood has scored nine goals in 13 games, tying him as the NHL's second-highest goal scorer. Sherwood's surge supplies the Vancouver Canucks with needed middle-six offense amid a team slump and broader scoring struggles. Sherwood operates as a physical power forward who excels at net-front presence, board battles, and gritty playoff-style play. He has produced nearly half of last season's goal total since joining Vancouver and is becoming a primary goal threat and a difficult matchup. Continued improvement could prompt Vancouver to evaluate Sherwood as a trade asset at the deadline.
