Blue Jackets' Kole Sherwood: Signs deal with Blue Jackets
Rotowire
Sherwood signed a one-year, two-way deal worth $735,000 with Columbus on Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Sherwood has appeared in five NHL contests with Columbus over the last two seasons but he's still looking for his first point at the top level. The 23-year-old forward should fight for a spot with the Blue Jackets next training camp, but the two-way deal will give the team some roster flexibility.

Blue Jackets' Kole Sherwood: Won't make final roster
Rotowire
Sherwood has been left off the team's final 31-man roster for the playoffs, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Sherwood was a bit of a longshot to make the squad, especially considering he saw action in just three contests this season, recording just six shots across 6:38 of average ice time. Along with Sherwood, Ryan MacInnis and Veini Vehvilainen were also cut by the team.

Sherwood saw action in just three contests this season in which he registered six shots, 10 hits and two PIM while averaging a meager 6:38 of ice time. The 22-year-old center figures to be a longshot for the lineup and will almost certainly spend the playoffs watching from the press box.

Blue Jackets' Kole Sherwood: Dropped down a level
Rotowire
The Blue Jackets reassigned Sherwood to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday.
Sherwood's demotion indicates Josh Anderson (shoulder) may be ready to return Thursday against the Flyers. The 23-year-old Sherwood will continue to be one of the first skaters the Jackets turn to when dealing with injuries up front, but he won't be a viable fantasy option in any format in 2019-20.

Sherwood logged just three games for the Blue Jackets prior to getting hurt, in which he tallied six shots, two PIM and 10 hits while averaging 6:38 of ice time. Once he gets his legs back under him, the center should be atop the list of potential call-ups but ultimately figures to spend the bulk of the year in the AHL.

Sherwood skated for the first time Monday since suffering his oblique injury, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Sherwood is still expected to be out until at least mid-December, but getting back on the ice is certainly a step in the right direction. Even once cleared to play, the natural center is far from a lock for the lineup and likely will find himself heading back to AHL Cleveland before long.

Blue Jackets' Kole Sherwood: Out 4-6 weeks
Rotowire
Sherwood will miss 4-to-6 weeks due to an oblique tear, Blue Jackets team reporter Jeff Svoboda reports.

Blue Jackets' Kole Sherwood: Promoted from minors
Rotowire
Sherwood was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Saturday, Brian Hedger of NHL.com reports.

The 22-year-old will likely serve as an emergency depth option ahead of Saturday's matchup with Calgary, with Markus Hannikainen slotting into the lineup. The promotion for Sherwood will likely be temporary and could have more to do with getting AHLer Jakob Lilja more ice time.

Blue Jackets' Kole Sherwood: Makes impact to start preseason
Rotowire
Sherwood scored a goal on his only shot and added four hits in Tuesday's 4-1 preseason win over the Sabres.
The 22-year-old heads into this year's camp looking to win a consistent bottom-six role after scoring 16 goals and 25 points in 56 games for AHL Cleveland last season while suiting up for two NHL games in February. Sherwood's scrappy skill set could catch coach John Tortorella's eye, and there's a lot of ice time available on the Jackets following the departures of Artemi Panarin, Matt Duchene and others in free agency, but the best-case scenario for Sherwood this season still likely involves a lot of trips on the Columbus-Cleveland shuttle.
