Today the San Jose Sharks acquired Kiefer Sherwood from the Vancouver Canucks, and with one of the top ranked trade pieces off the board, it is time for President and General Manager Chris Drury to try and drum up interest for the New York Rangers' available trade assets.

Sherwood was highly touted because of the season he was having for the Canucks, and because he carried such a low cap hit as a player who is set to become a free agent this offseason.
