"Sherwood, a pending unrestricted free agent, and the Sharks are nearing an agreement on a five-year contract extension that would carry an average annual value of just under $6 million, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Wednesday. Sherwood had his best game in a teal uniform on Tuesday, scoring the go-ahead goal late in the third period and adding a workmanlike assist in San Jose's 7-5 win over the Montreal Canadiens at SAP Center."
"The Sharks (30-25-4) acquired Sherwood, who turns 31 later this month, from the Vancouver Canucks in January with the hope of keeping him past this season. It was just a matter of whether the two sides could reach an agreement on an extension, one that would likely make Sherwood one of San Jose's highest-paid wingers, before Friday's NHL trade deadline."
"Hopefully things will take care of itself sooner than later, Sherwood told Bay Area News Group on Tuesday. My focus has just been on playing, and I trust (Moldaver). He's going to take care of everything like that. I've got a lot of faith in him for whatever happens."
Kiefer Sherwood, a pending unrestricted free agent, is close to signing a five-year contract extension with the San Jose Sharks valued at approximately $6 million per year. The 30-year-old winger, acquired from Vancouver in January, has recorded 18 goals and 25 points in 49 games this season. Sherwood scored the go-ahead goal in San Jose's recent 7-5 victory over Montreal. The extension would make him one of the Sharks' highest-paid wingers and represents a significant increase from his current $1.5 million average annual value. Sherwood expressed confidence in his agent's negotiations while focusing on his on-ice performance.
