The New York Rangers have extended a professional tryout agreement to forward Conor Sheary, signaling a potential addition to their roster for the upcoming season. The team hopes Sheary can compete for a spot and bring his championship experience to the club.
Championship Pedigree Joins Broadway
Sheary, 33, arrives with a resume that includes two Stanley Cup victories earned while playing under the Rangers’ new head coach, Mike Sullivan, during their time with the Pittsburgh Penguins. This familiarity could prove beneficial as the team aims to build chemistry.
A Season of Transition
After spending a significant portion of the 2024-25 campaign with the Syracuse Crunch, the Lightning’s AHL affiliate, Sheary is now actively seeking an opportunity to re-establish himself in the National Hockey League. He aims to leverage his extensive experience to make an impact.
In the 2023-24 NHL season, Sheary played 37 games for the Washington Capitals, registering 3 goals and 7 assists for 10 points. His most productive years came in Pittsburgh, where he scored 20-plus goals in two seasons under Sullivan. The National Hockey League Players Association reported that forwards with 10+ years of experience, like Sheary, often find opportunities via tryout contracts to prove their continued value.
