Do Rangers need Avery?
This is pretty much the way it was around here before Sean Averybecame a Ranger . . . the first time. This is pretty much how the Rangers played before Glen Sather went out and brought hockey's Dead End Kid to Broadway . . . the first time. What happened in Dallas, happened. It's clear that there's one team and one team only for which Avery can play; one city and one city only big enough for him to live; one coach and one coach only - the one behind the Rangers bench - for whom Avery can play. The mechanics of making it happen are hazy. But those are mere details. The Rangers need an infusion of energy. The Rangers need someone who actually will be tough to play against. The Rangers need Avery almost as badly as he needs them, and if anybody doesn't like it, he should be playing better.

No, but all of the clubs in NY do and they really want him to come back.

If the Rangers are that desperate than they are already DOA and first round fodder for Boston, Philly or the Caps.

Nobody needs Avery. He's nothing more than a menace to the game both on, and off the ice.

Cahlahan, Zherdev, Staal, and Girardi are the only ones playing well night in and night out. They have no veteren leadership, and avery would just disturb the locker room even more. He should go play in the Italian hockey league.

Only a city like New York could ask for a psych ward trophy like this twice.

Seemingly endless success for Dallas since they got rid of this dressing room stink bomb. Why would the Madison Garden crew want this clown in a jumpsuit back in town. They had enough problems getting rid of him the first time. Avery's act is stale and he's done. Plain old pig iron to toss on the junk heap.

What a joke. Nobody 'needs' Sean Avery. The Rangers are a soft team, but Avery's not going to help that. Avery is as soft as they come. At least that's what Elisha said...

Sean Avery made me interested in the NHL this year. For about three minutes.

At least he will take on players half his size.... this Rangers team wont size up anybody. F*** we need somebody or something that will enforce something - even if it is annoying other players and cheap shots.

Avery is a good hockey player.... Dallas' problems weren't sean avery. Marty was suckin and kinda still is, but at least they got Lehts back and a couple others....
I personally wish Sean luck a rejuvenating a career that was taken away unfairly. Hell Chris Simon tried to end a career by stomping on someone.
Bettman blows... or sucks.... depending on the wind I guess
