NHL Rumors: Conor Sheary top 10 bargain bin signing
Back in November, I ranked 28 year-old winger Conor Sheary 8th on my 10 ten bargain bin UFAs.
The diminutive winger plays an aggressive style that could help a team’s bottom six. Conor Sheary’s production has dipped ever since 2016-17 where he scored 53 points in just 61 games.

NJ Devils ink Mackenzie Blackwood
The future of the Devils net is set with the signing of Mackenzie Blackwood for three season with an AAV of $2.8 million.
“Mackenzie is going to be one of the key young, core pieces for this organization for a long time and we are excited and extremely happy to have him under contract,” general manager Tom Fitzgerald said in a statement. “He’s obviously shown that he can be a number one goalie, and the sky’s the limit for him.”
