Last season didn’t go as planned for the Buffalo Sabres, as well as, for a few players on the roster. A handful fell short of expectations entering the season and was one the reasons that the Sabres ended up where they did in the standings.
A player that could fall into this category according to some fans and media is winger Conor Sheary. The 27-year-old scored 14 goals and 34 points in his first season with the Sabres. He scored more points last season than he did in his final year with the Pittsburgh Penguins but ultimately fell short of producing at the pace of the 53-point, 2016-17 campaign.
