Avery on re-entry waivers!!

'Tampering' is generally interpreted as trying to entice someone under contract to break that contract.

I thought expressing interest in a player that was under contract to a different team was tampering. Avery is still under contract to the Stars. I guess it must be on the level if they're saying it. Otherwise I'm sure GB would have fined them.

Teams express interest in players from other teams all the time. 'Tampering' is when actual steps are taken to entice the contracted individual to violate their contract. What the NHL specifically considers as 'tampering' is probably listed in the Players' Association CBA:

what? I thought Redden was doing very well for them lol, it's almost as good as the Habs decline.

The Habs decline is a myth man, it's one or two players only.
