Value of: Conor Sheary to San Jose

[DG93]

Source: BREAKING: Sharks Are Talking to Conor Sheary

"The answer is yes: San Jose Hockey Now can confirm, from a source, that the Sharks and Conor Sheary’s camp are talking. The left winger does fit the profile of a San Jose Sharks squad that needs more scoring and wants to get faster."

Thoughts on his contributions and what the price tag might be?

Sheary has great speed and can score in spurts if he has a good player setting him up.
Incredibly soft and weak. Avoids contact and can disappear for long stretches.
His stint with the Sabres showed how much his early success was a product of Crosby.
I’m sure with the current market he will be signed very cheap and for one year.

 

[hockeykicker]

When free agency began on October 9th, the question was, “Who would the San Jose Sharks sign?”
After almost two weeks of relative inactivity — besides adding familiar faces Patrick Marleau and Matt Nieto and losing franchise icon Joe Thornton — the question became, “What’s Doug Wilson doing?”

San Jose Hockey Now has good news for Sharks fans: Wilson is still active in free agency. So who’s he looking at — Conor Sheary, Erik Haula, or Mikael Granlund? We’ve got the scoop!

Thanks, so it doesn't sound like he'll succeed in a third line role and needs a top-6 center to carry him?

It’s a subscription site for Sharks. It’s different when you subscribe but Sheng is probably the most connected insider for the Sharks.

Also like I said on the Sharks board. Guy would be an awful signing. Literally Sorensen who we all hate.

Many people said Kunitz was a product of Crosby. Maybe to an extent. But Kunitz was still a legit top six forward without Crosby. He wasn't useless without him. Nor a liability.

Sheary? Absolutely a product of Crosby. Shouldn't be a top six forward on any cup contending team. He can't create his own chances. He can't finish most times. And he falls down consistently.

I wouldn't be shocked if he's out of the league within a year or two.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I still say Granlund is their best option, he has the highest ceiling to make an impact.

If they're in on him but signing Sheary means they're done then that's bad.

They already got Donato as well.. Sheary seems redundant.

I'm assuming Doug Wilson is out of a job if the Sharks miss the playoffs this season. Appears desperation has set in.

 

[Howie Hodge]

Hey now! Maybe Connor has improved immensely since his time with Buffalo!

.....or not......

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

I heard he fell down 5 times just going to pick up the phone.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Please sign him before JR realizes he hasn't tendered him an offer yet.

I'm starting to see a pattern here with these comments...................

Yes, wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole- on any good team he’s irrelevant, only works as a bad top 6er

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Congrats on the cup SJ

 

[themelkman]

I never saw him as that bad, on the pens, and I always assumed that his bad scoring on Buffalo was just being in Buffalo, but these comments are making me feel differently. Maybe the sharks just want to ride him as the 13th forward and have him fill in for injuries?

He is a fine top nine forward who was great with the Pens. He’d probably be good with San Jose.

Kunitz was good before Pittisburgh. In fact he was even more consistent in Anaheim. For the record I don’t think Sheary is a top 6 guy. He’s a classic example of the term tweener. Kunitz was clearly a top 6 forward in Anaheim

He just needs space and he can make teams pay. Has an accurate shot. You just dont really want him skating with the puck. Give him a Center and other winger that are two way players who are more playmaker types and he'd be fine.

Actually did very well in the finals against the Sharks. Scoring a few goals(I believe the winner in game 1 OT?) . But that was with Crosby setting him up on line 1. He could play on the 3rd line, as long as that is used as a scoring line as well.

In buffal he wasn’t all that reliable after the first 15 games he played in buffalo to start 18-19 season after he was acquired in the summer.

Sheary is a solid top nine winger that can fit in the top six in a pinch.

Kunitz was p much a top six wing until 2016-17.

To be fair he was a top 6 forward on a team that literally won back to back cups. And scored 2 clutch goals against the sharks.

But yeah hes just kinda there now. Decent middle six guy, that's about it

He was playing top six minutes. Yes. But that doesn’t make him a legit one.

Sharks have 0 playmakers in the top 6.

Sheary would work well with Hertl imo.
