Jerry Dipaola of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: The Penguins re-signed Conor Sheary to a three-year deal worth $9 million – a $3 million salary cap hit. The sides had a salary arbitration hearing set for Friday.
“It was difficult in the sense it took time to (finalize the deal), but it was all worth it,” Sheary said by phone Sunday. “I am excited and happy to get it done. Hopefully, it won’t be my last.”
Sheary scored 21 of his 23 goals at even strength last season. He struggled during the playoffs only finding the back of the net twice in 22 games and was even made a healthy scratch.
