Kiefer Sherwood signs a five-year contract extension with the San Jose Sharks worth $5.75 million annually against the salary cap, according to a league source. The 30-year-old forward joined the Sharks from the Vancouver Canucks in January, costing two second-round picks and defenseman Cole Clayton. Sherwood boasts 18 goals this season, just one shy of his career high, with 25 points in 49 games. He faced an upper-body injury that delayed his Sharks debut until February 4. Previously in the final year of a two-year, $1.5 million contract with the Canucks, speculation swirled around a potential trade before the deadline. Sherwood's journey from minor leaguer with the Nashville Predators to a $29.5 million contract marks a significant turnaround for the player. The Sharks, led by Macklin Celebrini, sit three points out of the final wild-card spot in the West with a record of 30-25-4.
