Rangers Sign Former Stanley Cup Champion to Tryout Agreement
This former Stanley Cup champion is the latest to join the new-look New York Rangers.
The New York Rangers are adding to their forward depth ahead of their upcoming training camp. The Rangers are entering a new chapter of their organization under new head coach Mike Sullivan. After missing the postseason last year, the organization is trying to rebound and respond accordingly in 2025 and 2026.
Former Stanley Cup champion forward Conor Sheary is the latest player to join the new-look Rangers. The veteran forward agreed to a professional tryout agreement (PTO) with the club and will look to earn an NHL deal with his performance in training camp and the preseason.Sheary is a veteran of 593 NHL games. Originally an undrafted free agent, he signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins after completing his collegiate career. Following a year with the Penguins’ AHL affiliate, he forced his way onto the NHL squad after posting 36 points in his first 30 games of the 2015-2016 season at the AHL level.
His debut NHL season went better than ever expected, and he was a key part of the Penguins’ lineup that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017.
Sheary’s coach at the time, both at the AHL and NHL levels, was Mike Sullivan. Now, he’ll get the chance to reunite with the coach under whom he won two championships.
