If Messier was so overpaid at 5 mil. how is Avery worth the 4 mil he is asking for??? Seems to me 2.5-2.8 mil is very fair in this salary capped world…

Mess was no leader his second time here. He killed the team like no other.

That counts as opening up to the media? Wow, Slats sure did set the bar low.

Messier’s leadership alone was worth 4 million so Sather actually only paid him 1 million

Seems like a Garden p.r statement. If only Avery had played for the Oilers earlier in his carrer he’d get a fair deal. Hell Sather was paying a washed up Mess 4-5 million without much of a problem. He also way overpaid Tyutin.
