NHL Rumor Roundup: Latest Canucks Speculation, Bruins Linked To Maple Leafs' Matias Maccelli

Jan 1, 2026

Kiefer Sherwood remains the Canuck most likely to be moved. The 30-year-old left winger has been the frequent subject of trade rumors since November. During Monday's episode of The Fan Hockey Show, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman speculated the San Jose Sharks could be interested in Sherwood.

Taking on a UFA-eligible player would indicate the rebuilding Sharks have eschewed selling off assets as usual by the trade deadline, becoming buyers in pursuit of their first post-season berth since 2019.

The Canucks swung a major trade last month, but they might not be done dealing. Meanwhile, one pundit makes the case for the Bruins to pursue Maple Leafs right winger Matias Maccelli.
