Buzz: Avery to be a Ranger next week? (Update Pt 2)

by Brian Monzo on February 27th, 2009 at 2:04 pm

Steve Zipay reports in his blog that Sean Avery will likely be placed on recall waivers Sunday or Monday, meaning that if he clears the teams below the Rangers, he could be in New York Tuesday or Wednesday.

(Update 3:15P ET) – Darren Dreger from TSN reports Avery will be put on re-entry waivers Monday and the Rangers are expected to claim him, unless a team lower in the standings does — which is unlikely.

(Update 2:40P ET) – TSN reports Avery will in fact be placed on re-entry waivers before the trade deadline and the Rangers have reportedly committed to claiming him — officially making Avery property of the Rangers when that happens.

Monzo: From what I hear, the Stars will place him on waivers Sunday — meaning he could potentially be in New York on Tuesday. We will know soon enough.
