<p>The Tampa Bay Lightning placed forward Conor Sheary on unconditional waivers on Sunday for the purpose to terminate his contract.</p>
<p>The 10-year veteran was limited to playing just five games with the Lightning, and spent a majority of last season in the minors because of the team's salary cap constraints. The 33-year-old Sheary had one more year left on his three-year contract, and was due to make $2 million next season.</p>
<p>Sheary won Stanley Cups during each of his first two NHL seasons with Pittsburgh in 2016 and '17. He signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent two years ago, and finished with four goals and 15 points in 62 games with the Lightning.</p>
<p>He also played for Buffalo and Washington, and has 124 goals and 267 points in 593 games.</p>
<p>Should he go unclaimed, Sheary will become an unrestricted free agent, with the NHL's signing period opening on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The Seattle Kraken placed forward Joe Veleno on unconditional waivers for the purpose to buy out the final year of his contract, in which he was due to make $2.275 million.</p>
<p>Veleno has five seasons of NHL experience and was acquired by Seattle last week in a trade that sent forward Andre Burakovsky to Chicago. The 25-year-old Veleno spent his first four-plus NHL seasons in Detroit, and has 38 goals and 81 points in 306 games.</p>
