Leafs, Hawks, Canucks want Avery
Posted: Tuesday July 01, 2008 07:17AM ET
Sean Avery, given permission to speak with other teams late last week, is believed to have offers in his asking-price neighborhood of four years, $16M from at least the Maple Leafs, Blackhawks and Canucks, with other suitors expected to emerge. It's unknown whether Sather will negotiate against those offers, or whether last week's four-year, $12 bid indeed represented his final offer.

Report Offensive CommentThis **** is worth no more than 2.5 .. Im pretty sure he never has any more than around 30 points in a season, so who the hell would pay him $4 mil ...?!

You might regret that comment if Avery ends up in Calgary or Vancouver!

I hope either of those sucker teams spends 4 million on that bum ! Anyone can have him as long as he don't come to Edmonton (which he won't ) besides he'd be the teams leading scorer on the canucks or the leafs !

Report Offensive CommentThis Mike Gillis guy in Hongcouver is scaring me.
First he bandies the Sisters about at the draft.
Now he's considering Avery? He has a few 'right moves" at least. Scary stuff for a Canuck GM.
But I want Avery in Deadmonton.

Report Offensive CommentIf any of the people here have their team sign Avery (given he stays healthy) they will grow to love this class act of a gentleman.
I hope he tests the market, realizes he isn't worth 4 million for 4 seasons, and bleeds Ranger blue for 2-3 more seasons.

No. I honestly like Avery. He'd be a great Oiler.

I'd like him to stay here (NYR) Everyone talks about what a pest he is but forgets that unlike most of his ilk, he can play some hockey

I know you do Hank. Honestly I can kind of see why - it's just that I can't stand him. I can hardly wait to see where he ends up though. And I'm rooting for the Rangers on that one!
