Conor Sheary News: Headed for contract termination

Sheary was placed on unconditional waivers Sunday by the Lightning for the purpose of a contract termination, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Sheary, who had one year left on his contract at $2 million, has opted for a contract termination with the hopes of latching on elsewhere as an NHL player next season. The 33-year-old played just five games with the Lightning in 2024-25, spending most of the season at AHL Syracuse, where he had 20 goals and 41 assists in 59 games played. It was the first time he saw time in the AHL since the 2015-16 season. Assuming he clears, he'll join the class of unrestricted free agents July 1.
