I think RangerBoy pretends to hate Avery to convince us that he's not Larry Brooks
Smart business move by the Rangers here. Avery's time in the NHL is donezo. If he's gonna go anywhere in the NHL next season it'll be for the league minimum, and I bet he might consider a year overseas at $2 mil over that. Pocket a nice amount of change and then retire from hockey to pursue his other interests.
