Rangers Claim Avery

TSN reports that the Rangers have claimed Sean Avery on re-entry waivers today.

The Rangers are responsible for half of Avery's remaining contract - another three years with an annual cap hit of $3.875 million. The Dallas Stars are responsible for the other half.

It is unknown if Avery will be in the lineup Thursday against the Islanders.

...welcome home Sean.

Signing Avery is the most recent proof that the Rangers are the Dallas Cowboys of the NHL. A bunch of overpaid has beens with no team identity.
Redden-mistake, Drury-mistake, Gomez-mistake, Kalinin-mistake, need I go on?
The only good thing they have done recently is signing Tortorella.
