Released from PTO with Canucks
Sheppard was released Wednesday from his professional tryout with the Canucks, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 reports.
ANALYSIS
Sheppard inked his deal with Vancouver about three weeks ago and has lasted nearly to the end of camp. Unfortunately, his quest to return to the NHL for the first time since 2014 has come to an end, and he's now officially a free agent.

Sheppard struggled most of the past season, but finished with a fire that represented everything the Sharks -- and the Wild before them -- saw in him as a prospect. His regular season wasn't special overall (four goals and 16 assists in 67 games), but he did deliver five goals and 15 assists over his last 31 contests, both regular season and playoffs combined. Sheppard could be a savvy pick if he can carry the momentum he finished with into the start of the 2014-15 season. Play your cards wisely, though. We recommend watching and waiting on him. His history isn't great, so he he needs to show us that 31-game spurt was real before we invest.
