Kiefer Sherwood is set to earn a major contract following his play over the last two years, and now David Pagnotta is revealing how much he'll get paid. After bouncing around the NHL for years, Kiefer Sherwood finally found a home with the Vancouver Canucks, and now, the 30-year old has become a crucial part of this lineup. Last season, Sherwood posted career highs in goals (19) and points (40) over 78 games, all while making NHL history by posting the most hits in a single season in league history. <h3>David Pagnotta Reveals Major Pay Day Incoming For Sherwood</h3> Now, he's set to become a top free agent in the summer of 2026, with NHL Insider David Pagnotta revealing on the <a href='https://edmontonsportstalk.com/programming/hello-hockey/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Hello Hockey</a> podcast just how much he's going to get paid when he hits free agency. I don't see this deal being anywhere below $4m. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLRumourReport/status/1985437072262316178'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> As of right now, the Canucks clearly have interest in extending Sherwood beyond this season, and according to Pagnotta, if they're going to keep him, it's going to cost at least $4 million per season to do so. This year, Sherwood is off to an even better start than 2024/25, posting 9 goals in his first 13 games, and given the physicality and the two-way game, it's easy to see why he'd be highly coveted on the open market. Ultimately, this is a Canucks team that has to make their mind up on the direction they're going in, and whether or not that involves extending, trading or letting Sherwood walk, if they want it to be the former, they'll need to pay up in a big way.
