Avery selected by Rangers in draft

Interesting move for the Rangers and one I think most of us saw coming a mile away. Avery is talented and pesky but is he the answer to the Rangers scoring problems? He can help but I don't think he is the difference maker. They may make the playoffs this year and if they do expect them to be in the 7th or 8th spot. Personally I'd love for them to miss the playoffs.

I can see a Rangers vs Bruins match in Round 1. Rangers won't even win 1 of those games.

After what Avery did to us last year I'm somewhat worried.

Except that since then he's been neutered by Bettman and most of the locker room leadership has left the Rangers, including Shanahan who was the real captain there. Not to mention a coach that wants nothing to do with him.

It does seem like the Rangers are the Redskins of the NHL, somehow they operate without a cap. Logic says they're going to have to wind up with a roster of about a dozen minimum-salary players next year if the cap goes down and they can't move one of their albatross contracts (Gomez might be the only one with value strangely enough).
