The Future of Sean Avery
1st. The New York Rangers. They have a giant hard on for Mats Sundin, however they simply don't have the cap space to sign him. What they do have is a bunch of overpaid garbage that they'd love to get rid of, namely, Michael Rosival and/or Scott Gomez. Here's where Avery fits in. New York has put up with his crap before and of course he would have an incessant hard on due to all the attention he'd get from the media there. The Stars could trade Avery, and his 4 year, 3.5 million (give or take a couple hundred thousand) to the Rangers for Rosival/Gomez + a pick. They could then send him to Binghamton and put his salary in the AHL, which would free up the cash to sign Sundin. That would give the Rangers time to move other pieces, allowing them to eventually bring up Avery. It's a win-win for both teams, a lose-lose for the NHL and fans, except douchey New York fans.
2nd. Toronto Maple Leafs. Brian Burke signs asshats like its his job. See Pronger in Anaheim. It is his job. Plus, that could get Ryan Hollweg out of the league. But would the hockey purists/snobs of Canada stand such a prick on their beloved team?
3rd. New York Islanders. You never know what Wang or Garth Snow might do. Hehe Wang.
4th. Pittsburgh Penguins. Without Roberts, Laraque, and Ruutu, there's no agitation on this team, Godard only kills people. Avery could be that guy, but could Sidney accept it?
5th. Phoenix Coyotes. Carcillo and Avery running around being douches, that might sell tickets. Maybe.
OK, obviously only one of those makes sense, but it makes so much sense, I can't imagine it not happening.
Other news....
Couple games last night, none of them mattered to me, so piss off. Couple of games tonight, none of them matter to me, so piss off.
Two Sabres prospects, both last years 1st round picks, were included on Canada's World Junior Team, Tyler Myers, the 6'8" defensemen and Tyler Ennis, the 5'8" forward. That's great news for them, congratulations.
No Flyers or Pens draftees (minus Angelo Esposito, who was a part of the Hossa deal) were selected for Canada. But James van Riemsdyk of the Flyers was selected for Team USA.
Look at me I'm reporting news and avoiding work.
Oh Yeah, Jeremy Roenick will be out for 3 weeks with a shoulder injury, a real big blow to the Sharks Cup chances. HA.
