Sharks Eye Quick Flip of Sherwood

The San Jose Sharks acquired Kiefer Sherwood from Vancouver just weeks ago for two second-round picks, but now GM Mike Grier faces a deadline dilemma with no extension in sight. Sherwood's gritty style and $1.5 million cap hit draw interest from playoff hunters like the Avalanche, who crave his hits and depth scoring. As the March 6 deadline looms, San Jose weighs recouping draft capital against keeping a UFA who could walk for nothing.
