There's a chance that the New York Rangers will decide to put Sean Avery on re-entry waivers by Saturday morning. The Rangers would be basically doing Avery a favor by checking to see if another team wants him. If he clears re-entry waivers, then they'll probably just send him back to the minors. However, if they're going to give him a chance to finish his season elsewhere, then they have to act quickly because any team that claims him on re-entry waivers after the trade deadline would not be able to use him during the regular season or the playoffs. If they put him on re-entry waivers by Saturday morning, then he'll be either cleared or claimed by Monday at noon, which is three hours before the trade deadline. If Avery is claimed, the Rangers will be charged with a $209,460 cap hit for the rest of the season.
