Sean Avery Wins Settlement Against Toronto Radio Reporter

Larry Brooks at the New York Post notes that Sean Avery won a settlement in his libel case against Toronto radio reporter Howard Berger following mediation earlier this month...

"The suit was brought in the aftermath of the pregame incident in Toronto on Nov. 10, 2007, after which Berger alleged that Avery had made comments to Jason Blake relating to the Leaf winger's previously diagnosed cancer. Terms of the settlement are confidential. Avery has at least one more pending suit relating to the incident."

...man I loved the pre "Sloppy Seconds" Avery.

Brooks also reports that Denis Gauthier, a mean-edged veteran defenseman, was invited to attend training camp on a tryout basis with the Rangers by GM Glen Sather.

...a mean-edged defenseman? What's that?

...Brooks doesn't mention if Sather just recently extended this invitation or if Gauthier turned down the invite before training camp.
