43-Year-Old Retired NHLer Pledges to Make the Maple Leafs Opening Night Roster

Avery Destroys the Leafs.

Sean Avery has never been shy to speak his mind, and he did it again. His latest victim? The Toronto Maple Leafs.

Brad Treliving, the Leafs' new GM, made some bold acquisitions this summer, trying to add some aggressiveness to his lineup.

Avery believes it's simply not enough, stating that even he, at 43 years old, could make the roster.

Treliving added some muscle to his team with Ryan Reaves, probably the best enforcer in the NHL. Avery threw a jab at him, saying he'd be much more effective than him.

Avery may be in the best shape of his life, but it's not enough for today's NHL. It's a lot faster and bigger than when he was in it.

It's doubtful that he'd make a comeback, but he could join some lower leagues if he wants to get back into the competition.
