  team in different ways.When Glen Sather made the deal for Sean last year, he knew he was getting a  player that not many teams have. He is abrasive, yet he is talented, and he can play in many different situations. The Rangers needed someone that had that grit and Avery provided it.

And since Steve is such an upbeat, positive guy, it's impossible for anyone - Henny included - to get teed off at him. 4. Less than a scoring juggernaut, the Devils should pose less of an offensive
