The NHL landscape sees some notable movement as Seattle Kraken's Jaden Veleno and Tampa Bay Lightning's Conor Sheary have been placed on waivers with the intent to buy out their contracts. This unexpected decision reflects a shift in strategy for both teams, aiming to clear cap space and reallocate resources for potential roster improvements.
Veleno, a promising center, has faced challenges in securing a consistent role with the Kraken. His placement on waivers opens the door for other teams to potentially pick him up, giving both Veleno and interested franchises a chance to explore new opportunities in the league.
On the other hand, Sheary’s departure marks a significant change for the Lightning, who have valued his experience and scoring abilities. With the cap implications weighing heavily on teams, this move signals Tampa Bay’s intent to reshape their lineup as they continue to compete at a high level in the league.
As the offseason progresses, both Veleno and Sheary will look to land on teams that can maximize their talents, while the Kraken and Lightning assess new avenues for strengthening their rosters ahead of the next season.
