Episode notes
Realistic Sherwood Contract Range
- Expect Kiefer Sherwood to command a multi-year mid-range deal if he continues producing and scoring more goals.
- Consider three years at ~$5M AAV or four years at slightly lower AAV as realistic contract outcomes according to Dan Riccio and Satyar Shah.
Stamkos Rumours Are Improbable
- Stamkos trade chatter is likely scouting rather than a practical target for Canucks.
- Any realistic Stamkos move would require complex salary retention and significant assets, making it unlikely for Vancouver.
Quinn Hughes Determines Rebuild Path
- Injuries alone don't force a rebuild; organizational decisions and Quinn Hughes' situation do.
- Keeping Quinn Hughes should be prioritized and will determine whether the Canucks rebuild or persevere.
