Senators to Pursue Avery?

Don Brennan at the Ottawa Sun writes the following...

"Another guy the Senators should try and swing a deal for: Rangers F Sean Avery. He'd answer Ottawa's glaring need for some grit and provide another source for scoring at the same time. Yes, New York is still very much in the thick of things, but GM Glen Sather has to be more than a little concerned that he won't be able to re-sign Avery, who is making $1.9 million and is eligible for UFA status in the summer. Funny now, isn't it, that the Blueshirts labelled Avery a "detriment to the team" in an arbitration brief last summer? Since he arrived in New York Feb. 5, 2007, the Rangers are 40-17-11 with Avery in the lineup and 9-13-3 in games he has missed."

...what is this guy smoking? If Sather even thinks about trading Avery, especially with the way he's been playing lately, he's a bigger fool than I thought. The only thing worse than Sather trading Avery would be him not re-signing Avery in the off-season.
