Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record says listening to John Tortorella on breakup day, you got the strong feeling captain Chris Drury, left wing Vinny Prospal and Avery had played their last games as Rangers…
“…it will be no surprise if Drury is bought out, Prospal not re-signed and Avery somehow moved, through a buyout, demotion to the AHL or trade. Avery does have a full no-trade clause from July 1 to Aug. 14, otherwise he can list 10 teams he wishes not to be dealt to.”
…i agree with Gross that this is a very likely scenario. Rangers have to find some way to open up cap space to bring in some scoring and this is a way to do it.
Gross also feels that Brandon Dubinksy’s sub par playoffs may make his contract negotiations not as smooth as he’d like.
Finally, Gross says Michael Del Zotto will have to work real hard this summer to regain his roster spot.
…wonder if Gross saw Del Zotto’s tweet from the other day.
