Conor Sheary is coming back to Buffalo.
The Sabres announced Wednesday afternoon that they have signed Sheary, a left wing who has won two Stanley Cups, to a one-year contract worth $850,000.
Sheary scored seven goals and 11 assists in 62 games with the New York Rangers in 2025-26, after signing a professional tryout agreement with the Rangers ahead of last season.
The Pittsburgh Penguins traded Sheary and Matt Hunwick to the Sabres in in June 2018 for a draft pick. He scored 23 goals with 30 assists with the Sabres from 2018-20, before the Sabres traded him and Evan Rodrigues to the Pittsburgh Penguins in February 2020 for forward Dominik Kahun.
Sheary, 34, enters his 12th NHL season. Sheary has scored 131 goals and 154 assists in 655 career games with Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Washington, Tampa Bay and the Rangers. Sheary helped the Penguins win back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017.
