Feeling teary for Sheary today.

Guess the novocaine finally wore off.  😉

And now we hope that the forwards stay healthy all season and never speak of him in a Sabres uniform again.

If he clears, he'll be an asset in ROC.

I don't understand the hatred for Sheary.  He's a bottom-of-the-roster player.  He's got a lot of NHL experience and can fill in for a couple of games in the event of a slew of injures.  He'll be a good veteran presence for the kids in Rochester.  I feel the same way about most of the 8-9 defensemen and 13-15 forwards (guys like Bryson [now with Detroit?  Was waived, but then played against the Sabres in preseason?], Dunne, Kozak, etc.).  Not every player can be an all-star and rosters need injury replacements.  If Sheary is in your top-6, then you've got a problem, but in that case, the problem is the not the player, it's the team.

Sometimes it's better to have an injury replacement player be an experienced NHL veteran vs. a developing kid.  The kid has a higher ceiling, but the veteran has a higher floor and can come in and play a role with likely fewer mistakes.  The moment won't be too big for them.

I have never liked the way he plays hockey. In his prime he had the skillset to be a middle six winger.
He is now a depth piece who will fill in as a bottom six player at the NHL level. I like those guys tough and gritty. He is puny and soft.

He should provide value to Rochester.

I deleted my Sheary photo long ago, but IYKYK.

I love having him back around, but honestly he was 5 th string on the Penguin cup runs 12 years ago.

And he loves buffalo, and if he puts in any playoff gwg like with the pens I want him back.

I'm guessing he cleared and is now in Rochester?
