Kiefer Sherwood could land with the Montreal Canadiens very soon. Trade rumors are intensifying around the San Jose Sharks’ towering forward.
Let’s be honest, Martin St-Louis’ squad is seriously lacking grit. Nicolas Cloutier reignited this intriguing rumor on social media.
Cloutier confirms the Canadiens’ genuine interest in the forward. Kent Hughes was watching him closely even before his departure to California.
According to Pierre LeBrun, the California team is reportedly extremely open to moving its player. The Sharks are actively listening to all offers on the table for the veteran.”The Sharks are open to the possibility of flipping Sherwood if they can’t get him signed…It’s more likely than not he’s moved if the Sharks can’t extend him over the next week.”
– Pierre LeBrun wrote in The Athletic on Friday
Let’s be honest, our team greatly needs a physical asset of this caliber. Having an aggressive style would smoothly support our young talents.
On the ice, this veteran always guarantees solid, no-nonsense execution.
“Entirely speculation, but the Canadiens would not say no to some grit and showed interest in Sherwood before his trade to San Jose.”
– Nicolas Cloutier
The missing link for the Canadiens?
Accumulating that much career experience in the NHL speaks volumes in itself. Quite honestly, this player knows exactly how to command respect in a locker room.
The Montreal management is clearly looking for this specific profile to stabilize the lineup. Kent Hughes loves to shop smart without ever sacrificing the core of his rebuild.
All across the city, fans would love to see a guy with that much heart. Montreal has always respected and celebrated hard workers on the ice.
Moreover, Sherwood stands out for his career hit totals in the NHL. In the playoffs, his physical impact would be of crucial importance.
Now let’s see if Kent Hughes is able to offer the Sharks what they want. The situation could break open quickly by the end of the week.
