Kiefer Sherwood--so far, the UFA signing of the year in NHL. Preds must be kicking themselves.

Sherwood is at 115 hits through 18 games thus far this season, on pace to smash the NHL single season hits record of 383 set last year by Nashvilles defenseman Jeremy Lauzon. Kiefer has been a one man wrecking ball this season. Not only has Sherwood been a train, he looks fantastic as Pettersson's winger right now finding his offensive touch.

If we were paying him $5 million it would be solid value.

Dude looks like the steal of the offseason. Alex Burrows 2.0
He's on pace for 46 ESP while leading the NHL in hits and being a very good two-way forward. You'd pay $5 million all day long for a full season of that.
Can anyones body hold up for a full season throwing as many hits as he does? A little worried about him breaking down
I think he needs to chill out with the hitting, this can't be sustainable. His shoulder is going to pop at the current rate.
I wonder what his baseline is. We know/assume he can't continue that hitting pace, but can he still maintain that 45ish point pace while still being a disturber?
Last year we had a bunch of guys who really prospered under Tocc's system at the beginning that eventually plateaued (i.e.. Lafferty, PDG). Hope Sherwood is not going to follow this pattern.

Sherwood is averaging 2 hits a game more than clutterbucks peak. Hopefully he can sustain it
Well I think Sherwood's pace will slow down (otherwise he would be smashing records) but that is different from saying his body would break down. I think Clutterbuck is the best comparison. The others are D or bigger forwards.

Looking at his splits from last season he had 5 goals and 10 points in the first 20 games which is identical to this season with 2 less games played. The next 20 games however he only had 1 assist. He went all of December and January with just 1 assist. So I guess we’ll see.
