The Down Side to Sean Avery

Stan Fischler at MSG.com says that the Rangers will not collapse if they don't re-sign Sean Avery and offers these two down sides for Glen Sather to consider during negotiates with Avery's agent Pat Morris...

1. Avery-Morris likely will demand more than Sean is worth -- in both dollars and years.

2. The Rangers may have obtained the most they can from Avery, and everything from here on could be on a downward spiral for Gabbo and the team.

Fischler goes on say say that if Avery's demands are too steep the Rangers should cuts ties with him because they obtained Avery for nothing and they can replace him with a guy like Darcy Tucker. Fischler also says that Avery is injury prone and can be a handful.

...while these down sides are true, the bottom line is that the Rangers win with Avery in the line-up. I don't care if everyone on the team hates him. As long as they keep winning the rest of the team will have to deal with it.

...at $4 million a year I can see Sather's hesitancy to sign Avery, but I think if Sather give him a fair offer of $3.25 million, he'd take it.

...and why are people saying we can replace Avery with Tucker. Tucker isn't half the player Avery is.
