NHL insider Chris Johnston has revealed the details of a trade offer the Canucks received from a team for Kiefer Sherwood that ultimately fell through.
NHL insider Chris Johnston has word that the Vancouver Canucks did receive a trade offer for forward Kiefer Sherwood, one that ultimately didn't go through.
The offer reportedly included a second-round pick and a solid prospect, but Vancouver chose to keep Sherwood in the fold.
"They've been offered a 2nd & a pretty good prospect for Sherwood already."

The 30-year-old winger didn't suit up yesterday against the Montreal Canadiens due to injury and has been tied to other trade chatter alongside forward Conor Garland.
Kiefer Sherwood's health status has taken a hit
Sherwood, according to head coach Adam Foote, has been battling an injury and is considered day-to-day. He played less than 19 minutes in Vancouver's 5-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, but didn't take part in Monday's practice.
Even with the team mired in a difficult stretch this season, Sherwood has been one of Vancouver's brighter notes, pacing the team with 17 goals.

Foote added that Sherwood is anxious to get back but might be sidelined for up to a week. The Canucks haven't revealed the nature of his injury.
With the Vancouver squad in rebuild mode after trading superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild back in December, Sherwood's strong outings have made him one of the key cogs.
It appears the club is balancing health versus trade value, with Garland and several names like Jake DeBrusk continuing to be part of trade speculations.
