Looks like Avery's NHL career is over. I really doubt another team will pick him up.

It's too bad. Avery is a decent player when focused. Last year was a good example of that. Unfortunately however, Avery will now carry *way* too much baggage...even for his standards. The only team that might pick up Avery would be the New York Rangers (since they are familar with him).

My guess is that if the Rangers traded someone (large salary) to Dallas for Avery, and then sent Avery down to the minors, they would have a chance at signing Sundin (Sundin would probably sign with NYR for a reasonable discount).

NYR is where Sundin's heart is. $$$ wise however, Vancouver is the only team that can afford him straight up.
