Canucks Feisty Winger 'Could Go Quickly', Says Insider
The Canucks have quietly invited teams to discuss their “veterans,” signaling a willingness to consider a wide range of moves without naming names. While Quinn Hughes isn’t available for now and there’s no desire to move Filip Hronek, Vancouver is open to dealing UFAs and certain players with term. They prefer NHL-ready talent over draft picks, indicating this isn’t a teardown. Kiefer Sherwood could be the first to move, while players like Tyler Myers or Conor Garland may only go for the right offer. Hughes’ future remains uncertain, with conversations expected as tensions around him continue to simmer.
“The immediate watch is Kiefer Sherwood. Excellent start, absolute heater (28.6 shooting percentage), competes hard, playoff-style skillset, salary everyone can handle. Ultimately, the Canucks will decide how fast they move, but if anyone could go quickly, it’s the feisty winger.”
Canucks president Jim Rutherford confirmed in an interview on Tuesday that Sherwood is on the trade block, as are others who are of a certain age and headed towards unrestricted free agency. The team needs to get younger, said Rutherford.
“I try not to look at it,” Sherwood said on Wednesday. “I think we just try to focus on playing and try to stay in the present. You know, I love it here, and I love this group here, and I just want to continue to take it day by day. That stuff will sort itself out. I’m just focused on trying to have a good road trip here and get a couple of wins.”
Sherwood has 12 goals in 23 games. He’s on an unreal pace, and many wonder if he’ll be able to keep up. For that reason, the Canucks might be looking to do this trade as soon as possible. The highest return will come while he’s cruising, and the narrative could change if he cools off.
Sherwood said he was hoping to sign an extension. It’s not likely to happen. “I guess it’s just part of the gig,” he noted. “I’m just grateful for the opportunity they gave me… When I signed here, I felt like it was a good opportunity for me to grow, and I’m very thankful for every opportunity that management, the team and the coaching staff have given me.”
‘The Eagles Won’t Know What’s Coming’: Nick Foles Confident Bears Are Ready to Shock
As the Chicago Bears prepare for their highly anticipated matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, backup quarterback Nick Foles is making it clear that his team is ready to shock the world. Despite the Eagles’ strong season and top-tier status in the NFC, Foles believes the Bears are primed for an upset and will bring the heat that Philadelphia won’t expect.
“The Eagles might be riding high, but they’ve got no idea what’s coming,” Foles said in a recent interview. “We’re coming in with the hunger and fire that no one expects. The Bears are ready to bring the heat, and the Eagles won’t know how to handle it.”
Foles’ words reflect a confident, determined mindset in the Bears’ locker room. While the Eagles have been dominating on both sides of the ball, Foles believes the Bears have the tools to disrupt their game plan. The Bears have a defense capable of containing elite offenses, and Foles is confident that their offense will step up and make plays when it counts.
Chicago has been inconsistent throughout the season, but there’s no doubt that when they click, they’re a dangerous team. Foles, who was part of the Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning squad in 2018, knows how important it is to come into big games with the right mindset — and he’s confident that the Bears are doing just that.
“We’ve got the talent, the heart, and the desire to make a statement,” Foles said. “The Eagles are a great team, but we’re not intimidated. We’re here to fight, and we’re ready to take this opportunity and make it ours.”
Foles, who has been in and out of the starting role for the Bears this season, has seen firsthand how dangerous the team can be when they are firing on all cylinders. He also knows that it’s going to take more than just solid individual performances — it’s about execution, trust, and coming together as a unit.
“This game is about more than just one player,” Foles continued. “It’s about everyone playing their part. If we execute and trust the game plan, we’ve got a real shot at beating them.”
The Eagles, led by MVP candidate Jalen Hurts, have been dominant on offense, with a well-balanced attack that includes a high-powered passing game and an elite rushing attack. However, Foles sees vulnerabilities in their game — particularly in their ability to handle pressure. The Bears’ defense, led by linebacker Roquan Smith and defensive lineman Khalil Mack, has the potential to make life difficult for Hurts and the Eagles’ offensive line.
For Foles and the Bears, this is more than just another regular-season game. It’s a chance to show the league that they are a team capable of surprising the best of them. With the pressure on, Foles’ confidence in his team’s ability to perform under the spotlight is unwavering.
“This is the type of game we live for,” Foles said. “We know it’s going to be tough, but we’re ready for the challenge. The Eagles won’t know what’s coming when we step onto that field.”
As the Bears head into Week 13 with a playoff push still within reach, Foles’ leadership and belief in his team’s potential could be the spark they need to turn their season around. The Eagles may be the favorites, but the Bears are ready to prove that they’re more than capable of pulling off a stunning upset.
Chiefs Send Bold Message to Cowboys: ‘We’re Better, and Thanksgiving’s Our Stage’
As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their highly anticipated Thanksgiving Day clash with the Dallas Cowboys, the message from the Chiefs’ locker room is clear: they are ready to dominate. The Chiefs, fueled by their explosive offense and championship mindset, are not backing down as they look to prove themselves as the superior team on the national stage.
“The Cowboys are a great team, but we’re better. We’ve got the firepower, the skill, and the mindset to take control,” said Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. “Thanksgiving’s our stage, and we’re ready to show up and take what’s ours.”
Mahomes’ words reflect the confidence that runs deep within the Chiefs’ roster. Despite facing a tough Cowboys team, the Chiefs believe in their ability to outplay and outmatch their opponents. With a roster that boasts MVP candidates, game-changing playmakers, and a defense that has shown its ability to shut down elite offenses, the Chiefs are hungry for a statement win.
Thanksgiving Day games are always filled with high stakes and added pressure, but the Chiefs are embracing the moment. They know that national eyes will be on them, and they are prepared to show that they are not just a team full of talent, but a team that knows how to execute when it matters most.
The Cowboys, led by star quarterback Dak Prescott and a stout defense, are one of the top teams in the NFC. However, the Chiefs’ offensive firepower — led by Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, and running back Isiah Pacheco — is among the most potent in the league. Kansas City’s ability to score quickly and in bunches is something that has given defenses nightmares all season, and they are confident that their up-tempo, high-powered offense will be too much for the Cowboys to handle.
“Our goal is simple: dominate,” said Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. “We know the Cowboys are a tough team, but we believe in what we have here. It’s not just about showing up — it’s about taking control of the game from the start and finishing strong.”
The Chiefs’ defense has also been playing at a high level, with pass rusher Chris Jones leading the charge. The defense has been able to get key stops in critical moments, and with the offense playing at such a high level, the Chiefs have looked like one of the most complete teams in the league.
With their eyes set firmly on the playoffs, the Chiefs know that a victory over the Cowboys will be a big step toward securing a top spot in the AFC. But more than just the win, they want to send a message to the rest of the league: the Chiefs are ready for whatever comes next, and they are focused on their ultimate goal — another Super Bowl championship.
As Thanksgiving approaches, the Chiefs are ready to prove that their stage is not just any stage — it’s their stage. And against the Cowboys, they’re prepared to take control and show everyone why they’re one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL.
