New York Rangers Offer PTO to Two-Time Stanley Cup Champion

Seasoned winger Conor Sheary wants to continue playing in the NHL and signed a professional tryout (PTO) with the New York Rangers, 'New York Post' hockey reporter Mollie Walker stated.

Conor Sheary, 33, appeared in 593 games in his 10-year NHL career with 124 goals and 267 points to his credit.

This member of the Pittsburgh Penguins Stanley Cup-winning team might be all the more famous for his postseason games playing under Mike Sullivan, where he habitually looked up to playing with Sidney Crosby.

Some of his more successful seasons were playing under Mike Sullivan, and with Sidney Crosby, so now that Sullivan is in New York, Sheary will want to look to a familiar face to assist him in retooling his and New York's game.

He completed a disappointing year with Tampa Bay with 15 points in 57 games, the lowest since his rookie season in the league.

He played only five games with Tampa Bay during the second half of the year and spent most of the year with the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League, where he had 20 goals and 61 points in 59 games.

The Rangers are in a rebuild, saying goodbye to veteran depth players like Chris Kreider and K'Andre Miller but opening up space for Taylor Raddysh and prospect Carey Terrance.

While PTOs are far from having any guarantee that players will stick on the roster, Sheary's track record for scoring and familiarity with Sullivan make him a safe bet to be on the opening night roster.
