"When he was extended and the Rangers signed both Taylor Raddysh and Conor Sheary, the usual panic around playing the kids took center stage. In October, I wrote that none of these spare Rangers forwards would take significant playing time from the kids long term. With one on waivers, the Rangers have decisions ahead of them regarding all three, and these decisions may come in short order."
"It's easy to pick on Conor Sheary, and while I do agree with the premise of Brandon's post regarding trust, I think the focus should have been elsewhere. Sheary has been a fine foot soldier. He's giving 100% every shift and is doing a lot of the little things right. He's driving play on offense-though lacking some quality chances-and has been solid defensively limiting quality against. That's his role."
Juuso Parssinen was placed on waivers, likely ending his brief time with the Rangers and potentially being claimed by teams such as Vancouver or San Jose. Chris Drury may avoid an active decision if a claim occurs. The remaining spare forwards, Taylor Raddysh and Conor Sheary, must increase contributions to justify roster spots as young players like Gabe Perreault push for playing time. Conor Sheary has provided hard work, defensive reliability, and some offensive drive but limited quality scoring chances. The Rangers face team-wide scoring issues that make near-term roster decisions urgent.
