Why the Rangers Don't Need Avery

Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy gives us five reasons why the Blueshirts don't need Sean Avery including the Rangers having other needs, who Dallas would want back, Avery's contract, Avery being a distraction and there being no Messiah for the Rangers...

"Right now, the Rangers have one defenseman with a plus rating: Marc Staal at a plus-5. Last season, they had five. Sean Avery doesn't change the systemic personnel problems on the blue line, which are of Sather's making. His salary cap space also doesn't allow for high-priced help to arrive later in the season. A change is needed. But Avery might not be that change."

...i have to agree with everything Wyshynshi says. Especially when he notes 'A change is needed' and links to The New York Rangers Blog.
