TSN Canada is reporting that the New York Rangers have claimed winger Sean Avery on re-entry waivers this afternoon.The team will be responsible for paying half of Avery's remaining contract with the Dallas Stars.
Although this move has been expected for several days, it is unknown whether or not Avery will be in the line up for the Rangers game against the Islanders on Thursday.
Rangers' general manager Glen Sather sees Avery as a boost to a struggling Rangers squad and believes that his coach and new acquisition will be able to co-exist.
''He doesn't have the history with Sean that we do,'' Sather said on a conference call last week. ''Over time, you learn to love him, just like I do.''
