Sherwood
LeBrun: Dallas Stars
We know the Stars have already kicked tires on the pending unrestricted free agent. And that was before Tyler Seguin was lost long-term to an ACL injury.
Dallas doesn’t have a first-round pick in June, as it was dealt last season to the Carolina Hurricanes in the Mikko Rantanen deal. I wonder if the Stars would entice the Canucks with 23-year-old forward Mavrik Bourque? The 30th pick from the 2020 NHL Draft hasn’t quite measured up yet to the offensive potential he showed in the AHL in 2023-24 (77 points in 71 games). The Canucks are seeking younger players as they continue their post-Quinn Hughes roster retool.
I’m not sure if Bourque is the answer, but I do think there’s a match here somehow between the Stars and Canucks.

Johnston: Boston Bruins
Sherwood is a prototypical Bruin: big, fast and tenacious on the forecheck. As such, he’s viewed as a player who would be a great fit in an organization that is building back up following last year’s reset.
What’s more, the Canucks and Bruins have explored potential trade fits on a variety of players dating to the summer.
The biggest hurdle here might be the asking price. Vancouver is seeking a meaningful return for a player who looks poised to blow past 20 goals for the first time in his career, and Boston isn’t expected to be chasing rentals at this deadline. However, these teams might be able to thread the needle if this trade comes with a contract extension for Sherwood, which is something he’d be open to.

Man trading Sherwood to Boston would hurt so bad, he’s been such a beast for us this season. That said if they can get him locked up long term AND get a decent return it might make sense
Dallas feels like the more realistic landing spot though, they always seem to find ways to make trades work even without their first rounders
I don’t think Sherwood’s return will be as high as people think.
If they’d be willing to make a deal with Dallas without a 1st included then I dont see why tampa wouldn’t get involved either. Could probably get a good return around Gage goncalves or someone else

Like I said last time, BOSTON… YOU WANT TO GIVE US TORONTO’S FIRST ROUND PICK BOSTON
“Post Quinn Hughes roster retool” might be the worst sentence I’ve ever heard in my life and that’s after having my crush back at 18 years old tell me she’d be hooking up with guys every week despite knowing I had a crush on her
Has Johnston even seen Sherwood? Sure he plays big for his size with hits, but is not a prototypical big bad Bruin in size or weight.
I still think he is both Bruins or Dallas worthy,
Not sure I like their return scenarios though.
Maybe Minnesota or Colorado come to play ?
Sherwood & Aqualini for J.Robertson and Gaglardi. Do it Jim!
It would be funny if we traded him to Dallas. And he spent 5 games just hounding Quinn in the playoffs before they move into the second round.
A 23 year old who hasn’t lived up to his offensive potential LOL.
If Dallas did their homework, they know Quinn can be neutralized in a series by playing VERY physical. There were some games against Nashville he was 3rd in ice time for us.
If they can’t get a first then they need to trade him to someone who does imo. Or Dallas needs to give us multiple quality players/prospects
Whats about a dorofeyev from Vegas.. hes an RFA this off season think hes youngish and has scored 30 goals before… could be a good top 6 winger potential for a top 4 ? Just a spitball idea lol. Or would van have to also give something else up ?. Then maybe not haha
Sherwood to Dallas because they are probably going to play the Wild in the first round. We need to maximize the Minny pick. We all know how much Quinn likes playing against Keif.
