Kraken Poised to Buy Out Former Red Wings First-Round Pick

  • On June 29, 2025, the Tampa Bay hockey team waived forward Conor Sheary via unconditional waivers to end his contract with the club.
  • Sheary, 33, a veteran with a decade of NHL experience, was restricted to five games last season partly due to the team's salary cap issues and still had one season remaining on his $2 million, three-year deal.
  • Sheary captured Stanley Cup titles with Pittsburgh in 2016 and 2017, spent time with Buffalo and Washington, and last season tallied 15 points, including four goals, across 62 contests for Tampa Bay.
  • If Sheary remains unclaimed by Tuesday, when the NHL's signing window begins, he will be free to negotiate and sign with any team.
  • This contract termination indicates Tampa Bay is freeing up space under the salary cap, while Sheary, who has accumulated 124 goals and 267 points over nearly 600 NHL games, will now explore new team options.
