Confirmed Trade: [BUF/PIT] Conor Sheary and Matt Hunwick for a conditional 2019 4th

[hockeykicker]

So its the pens version of the orpik deal?

 

[Tweed]

Sheary for Risto, are you drunk?

Did you think I meant straight-up?

If we were gonna target someone on Buffalo... it'd be Risto, no?

Did you see the part that you quoted where I said I can't imagine it's around him or Bogo, and probably for a pick?

 

[logik47]

Another LHD. Will Hunwick be bought out? Can't see him cracking the lineup with Dahlin, Scandella, Guhle, McCabe, Pilut and Beaulieu all lefties...

 

[TheDoldrums]

does Sheary really not have much value? His P/60 has typically been off the charts. I know, mostly his linemates, but still.

 

[Macch]

WTF Buffalo?????

 

[Trade]

Buffalo might be pleasantly surprised with this if it goes through. Sheary just has no place on the Penguins.

 

[Shoofyou10]

I like Sheary but after signing Rust long term he is expendable and dumping him and Hunwick that gives us 5 mil more of cap space for Sunday. Great job by GMJR

I think you're targeting Skinner here.

My first thought.

Good dump of the Hunwick salary, cost them a decent young-ish player they probably won't miss.

Yes, just like Orpik was.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Well alright.

WTF Buffalo?????

taking on sheary is worth having 2 more years of hunwick (really 3 since they'll buy him out next summer)

 

[Dubi Doo]

Is Sheary a solid 3rd liner?

 

[Jozay]

How did sheary pull off 51 points in 63 games a couple years ago? I guess crosby.

 

[Empoleon8771]

This was insanely predictable, go read the Penguins salary cap theads. People have been calling this move for months.

 

[Royal Thunder]

I loved Sheary a couple years ago, he was just a tenacious player. If we get that guy it's a solid add.

 

[sasha barkov]

Are you Shearyous?

That was a good one. I’m shearious

 

[Sam Spade]

They will buy out Hunwick.

Seriously...there's talent there I assume.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Looks like a win-win. Sabres need wingers badly

Similar on the Sabres side. Sheary's been a name bandied about for a few months as a likely target.

 

[justafan22]

They will buy out Hunwick.

and have him on the cap for FOUR more years? Bury him this year buy him out next summer (he signed a 3 year deal, not 2 last year)

 

[Fire Benning]

 

[Sam Spade]

Yeah they have some guys left to sign and now they have money to maybe grab someone else at a low cost.

 

[Vega]

Is Sheary a solid 3rd liner?

small, very fast player. Wins a lot of races but loses almost every battle. Falls down a lot. I mean every shift. Should get you at least 15 goals a season.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Great deal for Buffalo. Virtually no risk there.
