Avery Next Most Valuable Player

Adam Proteau at The Hockey News feels the MVP of each team is pretty obvious so he looks at the next most valuable player for each team in the Eastern Conference, including the Rangers...

NEW YORK RANGERS
MVP: Henrik Lundqvist
NMVP Contenders: Nik Zherdev, Sean Avery
NMVP Winner: Sean Avery
Why? The Rangers have been one of the league’s most notorious Jekyll and Hyde teams this year and you could probably craft an argument as to why any player (other than the No. 1 goalie) on the Blueshirts’ roster doesn’t deserve the NMVP. By default, then, it has to go to the NHL’s biggest boogeyman. Besides, there’s not a small amount of irony in Avery getting an honor of being second, if you know what I mean. And I believe the smarter among you do.

...what about Ryan Callahan? (See here)
