San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks made a significant player trade in the NHL on Monday.

Sharks acquired the goal-scoring ace Kiefer Sherwood, who was among the hottest trade targets in the NHL. Heading the other way to the rebuilding Canucks are farm defenseman Cole Clayton, 25, and two second-round draft picks (2026 and 2027).

Sherwood is currently playing the final year of his affordable contract, which has an annual salary of $1.5 million. The 30-year-old forward, who has recorded 17 goals and 6 assists for a total of 23 points in 44 games, is the Canucks’ top scorer this season.
