If your team could use the grit, would you consider adding a player like a Sean Avery, Chris Simon, Ryan Hollweg, Steve Downie, etc. knowing the baggage they come with? [15 vote(s)]
I would take Avery on my team any day of the week. Each person on this list is a seperate case and some of the people are worth taking and controlling and others aren't. It all depends on their skill set and amount of trouble they bring.
Tortorella will control Avery and he will be very productive for the Rangers down the stretch.
I pretty much agree with Garreth. I think I'd take a waiver at Downie though. The kid can play and play hard- I think under a coach like tort, sutter, or keenan he could do well in an energy line role.
