NHL Trade Talk, News & National Hockey Now

San Jose Hockey Now: Two big names off the NHL trade board early, as the San Jose Sharks trade for Kiefer Sherwood one day after the Vegas Golden Knights reel in Rasmus Andersson.

Sheng Peng broke the news, then got the inside scoop on why NHL scouts love Sherwood, and his fit in San Jose, who is surprising everyone in the playoff race.
