NHL Trade: Pittsburgh Penguins Trade Conor Sheary And Matt Hunwick To The Buffalo Sabres

Pittsburgh Penguins trade Conor Sheary and Matt Hunwick to the Buffalo Sabres
SHARE

The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded forward Conor Sheary and defenseman Matt Hunwick to the Buffalo Sabres for a conditional 2019 4th round pick – can become a third round pick.

The 26-year old Sheary was undrafted. He carries a $3 million salary cap hit for two years.

The 33-year old Hunwick was drafted 224th overall in the 7th round of the 2004 draft by the Boston Bruins. He carries a $2.25 million salary cap hit for the next two seasons.

Thoughts from the media …

Josh Yohe: “Penguins aren’t retaining any salary. That’s more than $5 million off the books in each of the next two seasons for the Penguins, and these are two players that, frankly, weren’t in their plans.”

Sam Werner: “Return here is basically immaterial as long as the cap space is cleared.”

Sam Werner: “Some of that money will go to Sheahan and Oleksiak, presumably. But should be enough left over to add a D.”

Gus Katsaros: “Sheary will do well in Buffalo. As long as offensive expectations are kept in check….”

Adam Gretz: “Of course, if you use that new cap space to sign Jack Johnson is it really a good thing…”

Brock Seguin: On Sheary: “He’s better than what they had and came very cheap. Very reasonable $3.0M cap-hit for the next two years too. Not the end of the world if he ends up being a third liner.”
