Waived: Lightning waive Conor Sheary | cleared and assigned to Syracuse

[Felonious Python]

I'd like to be happy but you just know he's not gonna be claimed, someone will go down, and this f***er will be right back up.

We're acting like he couldn't reinvent his career in Syracuse.

We're acting like he couldn't reinvent his career in Syracuse.

At 32 years old, he'll be reinventing a new career

 

[Felonious Python]

A 32 year old diminutive offensive winger who can't produce offense. He absolutely could start a new career in another profession.

What are really his options? He could leave for Europe. He could rework his game, or he could be an AHLer, possibly being bought out and getting into the PTO/league minimum racket.

Not sure there's much to work with in terms of reinventing when he does nothing right now

 

[These Are The Days]

Sheary is gonna tear up the AHL guys

 

[DFC]

This likely doesn't even matter. It gives some people reason to cheer and then we will replace him with a fringe NHLer who does the same thing. It's a touch of cap space at the TDL.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Hopefully he goes to Syracuse and works hard teaching others what he has learned.........

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Maybe a positive spin on this, I’m happy that Geekie is solidifying his spot on this team. We needed a nice surprise.

 

[OffBy1]

rejoice for those of you who posted ad nauseam about how much he sucked, and for those of us who had to read it.

Nothing was as bad as watching it.

 

[Stelio Kontos]

^ This wtf Sheary got paid 2 mil to play the worst hockey of any bolt I’ve seen in the last 15 years bro. I would literally rather have Carle - Sustr as our 2nd pairing than watch Sheary play for this team again. At least I could laugh at that shitshow.

Watching Sheary skate away from a loose puck in front of our crease for New Jerseys 3rd and than pout made me want to stab myself with a fork..it would probably be more enjoyable than watching him “play”

Sheary is gonna tear up the AHL guys

He will return to a 0.5 ppg player in the A.

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Upstate New York ain't that bad

Sheary spent two years with the Sabres.

If he wants to get back, then he'll have to put in the effort.

Would $3M perhaps convince you to go back for a few semesters?

[Todd1a]

None lol

I was thinking JBB would send geekie down lol and try to justify keeping Sheary

Obviously Cooper has to say good coach and lawyer Coop things, but I truly hope we get the news that someone claims Sheary in 5 mins. Don't want to see him in a Lightning jersey ever again.

Just so you're not checking to see if he was claimed at noon, waivers roll over at 2pm Eastern now

Not a surprise. The team should call someone up from Syracuse fairly soon, as I doubt they only want to have 12F on the roster throughout the season.

 

[Stammertime91]

f***

 

[RDTBay4]

So now we have $2,618,333 in cap space.
