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

In the pre-camp interviews, Quinn Hughes continuing to sing the praises of Sherwood,. I guess he really made an impression on him during last spring's series with the Preds.

It'll be a relief to see him hunting down opposing d-men in the offensive zone, rather than plastering Canuck d-men up against the wall.

Quinn Hughes must be consulted before any new free agent signings from now on.

You know I’ve always wondered why GM’s don’t consult with the teams best players on who they should target more often. They’re the ones that can give you on ice insight that could be valuable bits of info.

Obviously there’s a whole list of problems that can arise from that but isn’t the world much a better place with rose colored glasses

The extreme on the other side would be a situation like LeBron James acting as a GM. If it means Quinn Hughes bringing his family to the team, like LeBron did with his son, I’d be all for it!

Messier/Keenan put an end to this as a possible future trend back in the late 90’s

Sherwood leading the NHL in hits by a wide margin in the early going. How can you not love that?

He reminds me of a cross between Darcy Tucker and the late Rick Rypien. Absolutely fearless out there.

You have to some props to Allvin. Every year he seems to sign a guy like Sherwood who absolutely fits in seamlessly with the entire group, and quickly becomes a fixture. 'Team-building' in the NHL, is no easy task with all the egos and contracts.

But it seems as soon as they arrive in Vancouver, it's quickly: "We are all Canucks."
