I’d love to see the Wings bring Avery back into the fold. I don’t think he’s exactly perfect for the chemistry in our locker room, but he’s been a Wing before and both sides know each other well.

And oh what an asset he would be for our team that will lose a fair amount of grit when Drake retires and Mac begins his slide off the bubble (though I hate to say its true).

Avery’s supposedly asking for at least $3.5mil a year. How exactly is that a bargain?
