“I was going back and forth with a couple people about his situation. It sounds like over the last few days, things have picked up with respect to Kiefer Sherwood and the discussions that are going on out there,” Pagnotta said.
He went on to add, “I asked a couple of people I was texting with, ‘Is the timeline closer to Olympic break? Or can we see something at some point in January?’ Both messages I got were, ‘Don’t be surprised if something happens sooner than later.’ So it sounds like there is momentum with respect to Kiefer Sherwood trade discussions. The Canucks don’t want to put themselves in a position where they overplay their hand in this one.”
