Former Stanley Cup champion Conor Sheary has been playing on a PTO with the New York Rangers during the preseason. These contracts are unpredictable with how they'll turn out for the players involved, and fortunately for the veteran player, USA Today's Vince Mercogliano reported some great news.

Veteran Conor Sheary is used to the tough battles, and he's just finished one competing for a roster spot on the New York Rangers.
NHL Insider Vince Mercogliano believes that Sheary, a Stanley Cup champion, has earned a roster spot with the Rangers.
«Meanwhile, it looks like the Rangers are leaning toward Sheary as their third-line left wing,» Mercogliano wrote. «The 33-year-old came to camp on a PTO and has played his way into a likely deal, with three points (one goal and two assists) through three preseason appearances and a speedy forechecking game that Sullivan is quite familiar with from their time together in Pittsburgh.»

This was the result of sheer willpower and determination from the forward, who terminated his deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning and hunted for an NHL contract.
He accomplished that during Rangers training camp, foregoing that extra $2 million to find a new place to establish himself.
The connection with Head Coach Mike Sullivan is undoubtedly one person who knows how Sheary plays and how to use that to his advantage.
«But positionally, he's a pretty sound player. He sees it pretty well. He's in the right spots a lot of times. There's detail positionally in his game. So, what I expected we would get from him is what we've seen since the start of training camp and the games that he's played.»

Sheary is a 593-game NHL veteran and has scored 267 points in the NHL (124-143), and won back-to-back Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh.
Now, we wonder where he'll slot in on the Rangers lineup, which is influx with all of the new blood trickling in.
