Overview

  • The team announced the extension, while multiple outlets report a $5.75 million average annual value for the contract.
  • San Jose traded two second-round picks and defenseman Cole Clayton to Vancouver for Sherwood on Jan. 19, and the new deal takes him off the market before Friday’s deadline.
  • Reporting indicates the contract includes trade protection and early-year signing bonuses, though full terms were not formally disclosed.
  • Sherwood has 18 goals and 25 points in 49 games this season; since debuting for the Sharks on Feb. 4, he has one goal and one assist in five games, including Tuesday’s late winner vs. Montreal.
  • General manager Mike Grier praised Sherwood’s nightly impact as the Sharks sit just outside a Western Conference wild-card spot.
