Sean Avery on Waivers

I'm not a Sean Avery supporter, and don't really feel like wasting too much blog space on him, but reports are out that the super pest has completed his anger management therapy, and is cleared to resume his NHL career. The Dallas Stars have made it clear that he will not play for their organization ever again, so the only option is to place him on waivers where any team can claim him for the full cap hit of $4 million dollars. I can't imagine any teams claiming him before the 11am deadline on Monday, and if that is the case, he will be send to the minors for conditioning. If any teams are interested in adding Avery, he can be placed on re-entry waivers and Dallas would be on the hook for half his salary. (approx 15.5 million for 4 years)
Rumour has it the Rangers are interested in reacquiring Avery's services, but in a case of re-entry waivers, any team can put in a claim for him, and the team with the worst record will be deemed the lucky (or unlucky) winner.
