Confirmed with Link: Canucks sign F Kiefer Sherwood to 2-Year, $1.5M AAV Deal

[David71]

Im very intrigued by this signing. he was one of my targets when the season ended. first round against vancouver he was very noticable. pissing off some vancouver guys with his play. fast, physical. havent had that since alex burrows/maxim lapierre back in 2010/2011. he will be a fan favourite in no time.

Any chance he gets a look on the wing with Miller and Brock?

PDG had success and Sherwood is a better player…

 

[kanucks25]

Really like this one.

Even if he doesn't provide more offense than he's shown, he'll do a much better job of being effective and consistent in a 4th line role than someone like Lafferty.

I kind of like the fact that a lot of the forwards seem like they could move up if need be depending on who is going. Heinen, Suter, Sherwood, even Hogs I imagine will move up and down a bit.

Drance:

Canucks hockey operations think more highly of Sherwood than that, however, even if they’d be deeply reluctant to say so publicly. This is more a storyline for training camp and in season, but there’s a school of thought that with Sherwood’s speed and willingness to mix it up, it may be worth seeing whether Sherwood is capable of effectively complementing Pettersson in a second-line role at some point this season.

Think this is the Dakota Joshua breakout player out of this bunch. Love his game and the price.

I would’ve been over the moon if Heinen and Sherwood were brought in because Joshua left. But having all 3 is amazing. I love these high motor high floor players that can move up and down.

Kid has a cool name.

There was just something so much more satisfying when it came to ripping shots with a wooden Sherwood hockey stick.

First hockey stick I ever used.

From the Athletic (note I continue to beat the paywall with print to PDF!):

“Sherwood is tabbed as the Sam Lafferty replacement. He might be a smaller body, but the club wanted to bring in a fourth-line presence with a nastier game, a bottom-six winger who played to their identity on a more consistent basis than Lafferty managed last season.

This is the kind of kid that needs to play a couple shifts beside EP… drag him into the fight!

Little highlight pack courtesy of CanucksArmy. Quite the shot indeed. Can’t wait to see how he does in a Canucks jersey this fall.

 

[wonton15]

Would be fun if he ends up finding really great chemistry with Miller or Petey as a dawg. The more I watch this kid, the more I love this

Heinen Miller Boeser
Debrusk Pettersson Sherwood
Joshua Blueger Garland
Hoglander Suter Podkolzin

Canucks were sold on Sherwood after his one-man, wrecking crew play against them in the Cup playoffs.....might have been one of the Preds most effective forwards.

Looking at all the signings, the Canucks have added a ton of truculence and physicality to the lineup. Tocchet is going to love some of these guys---especially Sherwood.

Now if they can only cruise effectively and load manage, until game 83. Work out all the tweaks.

Cruising never works. There will be ups and downs (work on those tweaks as you go) and every good team needs to fight through the grind and stay hungry.
