Thanks to the latest move from Vancouver Canucks forward Kiefer Sherwood, there is growing speculation that he could soon be changing teams.

Canucks Face Tough Choice: Extend or Move On from Physical Winger

Sherwood is coming off a year in which he scored a career-best 19 goals in the NHL in 78 games, and if he can continue that kind of production, he'll command a healthy raise from his current AAV (average annual value) of $1.5 million.

But even more impressive for Sherwood was that he now holds the NHL record for most hits in a single year with an incredible 462, breaking the previous record of 383 set by Jeremy Lauzon.

The Canucks will soon be faced with a choice of either extending Sherwood or potentially trading him at the Trade Deadline (or earlier if they know he won't re-sign) in return for assets rather than lose him for nothing in the summer.
