The struggling Vancouver Canucks have traded Kiefer Sherwood to the San Jose Sharks.

Vancouver received defenceman Cole Clayton and second-round picks in both the 2026 and 2027 draft in exchange for the bruising winger.

Sherwood has a team-high 17 goals for Vancouver this season, alongside six assists over 44 games.

He posted career highs in goals (19), assists (21) and points (40) for Vancouver last season.

The 30-year-old undrafted forward from Columbus, Ohio, is in the final year of the two-year, $3-million US deal he signed as a free agent on July 1, 2024.

Sherwood previously played for the Nashville Predators, Colorado Avalanche and Anaheim Ducks.

Vancouver is at the bottom of NHL standings with 37 points in 48 games, and are winless in their last 10 games.
