A key Minnesota Wild trade target lands with San Jose. Now the Wild must pivot their strategy and seek alternatives to bolster the roster.
On Monday a trade was made in the NHL between the San Jose Sharks and the Vancouver Canucks.
It included a forward the Minnesota Wild had some interest in.
The Sharks traded two second-round picks along with a depth defenseman to the Canucks for Kiefer Sherwood.
Sherwood, 30, has 17 goals, 23 points, and 210 hits in 44 games this season with the Canucks and is now a member of the Sharks.
Minnesota had been interested in him. Even after the Quinn Hughes trade, the Wild still had some interest.
Now the Wild will have to pivot to a different plan.
