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.

He's a misfit! Everybody hates him! Everybody wants him!

4 years and 16 Mil? Any team that pays this is run by autistics

July 1, 2008  08:40 AM ET

no way he's worth 4 mil per .....2.5 - 3.0 is the top of the cap for him. This guy can help ya or hurt ya....look for him to get a couple suspensions this coming year

I don't want him. Let him go and agitate his little socks off elsewhere.

I heard on TSN last night that his 2nd choice after the Rangers is...Toronto...OH Nooooooo.....wah..

July 1, 2008  09:22 AM ET

This **** 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!

baun-ded!you said i was just a dumb soccer fan when i said avery to the leafs.iam a dumb soccer fan but maybe not as dumb as the leafs if they signed this wanker!

Isles need to get over the minimum. Would be worth it.

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 !

This 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.

Hank .... I think you just like being controversial!

July 1, 2008  10:11 AM ET

he still isn't out of NY yet!


BETTMAN S***S

If 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.

HOW MUCH DOES BETTMAN S***?

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

July 1, 2008  10:40 AM ET

Please Fletch don't bother signing Avery...it'd be like replacing Tucker with his annoying younger brother, the Leafs don't need him.

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

BETTMAN REALLY DOES S***, I SWEAR

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!
