from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Glen Sather wouldn’t give Avery an extra $4M over four years - Page Six Sean is believed on his way to either Detroit or Dallas - but the GM instead lavished a six-year contract worth $6.5M per on 31-year-old Wade Redden, a reasonably dependable puck-moving defenseman who had a dreadful 2007-08 in Ottawa and has never been regarded as a game-changer over 11 seasons with the Senators....
Jagr, meanwhile, is on hold. Unless there’s a new math by which Sather is operating, it would seem impossible for the Blueshirts to make an offer to No. 68 that he’s not going to refuse.
Jagr laughed when asked about whispers from the underground that the Penguins will invite him back to finish where he began -Boo! - if the lure of Broadway proves greater for Hossa than the opportunity to skate with Sidney Crosby. leaves Pittsburgh.

Totally agree. The Wings got rid of Avery before because he was not the type of player they value--that would be players who are skilled and not distractions in the locker room. There is no way Holland is looking at him seriously again.

I really hope that neither Stillwuzzi nor “New Rule” Avery are brought back to Detroit. I think the roster is looking pretty good right now and I just don’t see the need for either one of them.
