The Sharks have traded for Kiefer Sherwood.
San Jose acquired Sherwood, 30, for their 2026 and 2027 second-round picks, and defenseman Cole Clayton.
One of the top forwards available this Trade Deadline, the 6-foot winger has 17 goals and is second in the NHL with 210 hits. He had 19 goals last season, recording an NHL-record 462 hits, too.
Sherwood is a pending unrestricted free agent.
The acquisition is a clear signal change by the Sharks that they’re moving away from the rebuild, and trying to make the playoffs this season.
San Jose currently holds the last wild-card berth in the Western Conference, tied in points, 51, with the Seattle Kraken, Los Angeles Kings, and Anaheim Ducks.
