Rangers agitator Sean Avery cleared N.H.L. waivers on Wednesday, 24 hours after the Rangers placed him there and he was assigned to their American League affiliate in Hartford, the Connecticut Whale.
It came as little surprise that Avery went unclaimed by another team, which would have to pay him $2 million this season, high for a player who scored three goals last season.
When Avery was waived, his agent Pat Morris said he could explore avenues for Avery to play in Europe. The Rangers would have to agree to that, but likely would.
The Rangers also placed defenseman Marc Staal on injured reserve as he recovers from the effects of a concussion and recalled defenseman Tim Erixon from the Whale.
