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.

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

Report Offensive Comment

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

Report Offensive Comment

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 ...?!

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.

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.

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

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!
