from Scott Cullen of TSN,
So, the teams that might consider an Avery trade would have to be teams that are looking to unload their own bad long-term contracts.
Some options worth exploring:
Sergei Samsonov, LW, Carolina - With just two goals and a minus-6 rating in 26 games, Samsonov still has two years and $5.3-million left on his contract after this season. It’s a bad deal, but probably not as bad as Avery’s, so the Stars would probably have to sweeten the offer….
Jason Blake, LW, Toronto - Though he’s played better in recent games, it’s still fair to say that Blake hasn’t lived up to expectations with the Maple Leafs.
read on with some trade talk too…

Ron Wilson and Sean Avery in the same place? They would MURDER each other!
Don’t give Little Gary ideas… he’ll mandate that trade if he hears you!

It seems kind of ironic. I understand why the Dallas lockerroom and coaching staff want to distance themselves from Avery and his antics, but frankly the more they throw the guy under the bus the more they ensure that nobody will take the four-year baggage off their hands. I don’t even think Samsonov or Blake are really answers to this trade conundrum—I don’t hear their teammates making them sound like guaranteed disasters.
Hull and his friends are in for quite an uphill battle, I’m afraid.

I’m pretty sure the Canes have enough issues without adding Avery to the mix.
