Sick of this”Another fan wrote,"Another underwhelming winger whose best years are behind him."Here are some more fan reactions:"We have 4 top 6. 2 middle 6.

Sheary had one more year at a $2M AAV, but couldn’t get one roster due to TB cap problems. He asked to terminate to get a chance to be in NHL." per Friedman on X.During the 2023-24 campaign, Conor Sheary managed only 15 points in 57 appearances for the Lightning, his least productive NHL season.He was limited to just five games last year and spent most of his time in the AHL with the Syracuse Crunch. He put up a strong showing, bagging 20 goals and 61 points in 59 games.
