Sharks’ pending UFA unsure of where things stand as trade deadline nears

SAN JOSE – For those curious about where things stand contract-wise between the San Jose Sharks and Kiefer Sherwood, you’re not alone.

Sherwood is, too.

With the NHL trade deadline just days away, Sherwood said Tuesday morning before San Jose’s home game against the Montreal Canadiens that he was “waiting to hear back” from his agent, Judd Moldaver, about the state of negotiations on a potential new deal with the Sharks.

“Hopefully things will take care of itself sooner than later,” Sherwood told Bay Area News Group.
