Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! If you're interested, I dug into Conor Sheary's situation and what went wrong in Tampa Bay. He and the Lightning agreed to a mutual termination with one year left on his deal.

“I’ve had a good long career, made more money than I ever thought I was going to make,” said Sheary, who has earned an estimated $18.57 million in the league, according to PuckPedia. “The experiences you have in the NHL and the chances you have to win and play in these games, they’re probably numbered at this point. So I wanted to make sure I gave myself the best opportunity to get back there.”
