The Whiteboard: Trading Sherwood Is a Gimme Putt
The Canucks open a six-game road trip in Buffalo, prompting a surprising discussion about what Vancouver can actually learn from the Sabres during down years. The focus quickly shifts to Kiefer Sherwood, as reports surface of a credible four-year offer worth $4–5 million annually, a move that raises serious questions about planning and asset management. With Sherwood’s camp believing he can do better on the open market, the guys argue his trade value could reach a first-round pick. This is framed as a rare “gimme putt” for the Canucks: trade Sherwood for value now, or risk turning a clear win into a disaster.
