In today’s NHL rumour rundown, we look at the Vancouver Canucks’ hesitancy when it comes to Kiefer Sherwood‘s next deal. We also look at how much the Colorado Avalanche may need to pay to get Cale Makar‘s extension done next offseason.

This summer, Vancouver Canucks forward Kiefer Sherwood tied the knot with his longtime partner Ariela Smith. On Thursday, Airela shared a photo series from their honeymoon in Tuscany, Italy, on her Instagram.

Kiefer Sherwood scored his second goal of the game 1:42 into overtime and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-3

Sherwood is on an expiring contract and his grinding longevity speaks to a love of the game. A two-year commitment by the Canucks at just $1.5 million US annually is the currency afforded those who must keep proving themselves. Not much glory, but a lot of guts to maintain some stake in the NHL.

Coming into the NHL season few people would have expected Kiefer Sherwood to be leading the Vancouver Canucks in goal scoring.
