Sean Avery was sent to the New York Ranger's AHL affiliate team, the Hartford Wolf Pack, today after being out since his suspension in December over the derogatory comments he made about Dion Phaneuf and others. The plan is to get Avery around other young, motivated players and to get back into shape. Dallas has already made a statement saying that Avery would not return to their lineup. With that said, Avery's best bet would to be through re-entry waivers. Only time will tell.
"Dallas has given me a great opportunity to come and play here right now," Avery said at the Wolf Pack's practice facility in nearby Cromwell. "I'm just worrying about today and happy that I'm back playing. That's the important thing."
"Sean was a good player for the Rangers during his time here and has worked extremely hard off the ice over the last two months," Glen Sather, the Rangers President and GM, said in a statement.
We'll see if Mr. Sloppy Seconds can keep his hands clean while in Hartford. I'd say they're going to keep him on a pretty tight leash for a while.
