Rangers Forward--And Vogue Intern--Sean Avery Heads South

2008_06_seanav.jpgWhether he's being a pest on the ice or a fashionista at a glossy magazine, Sean Avery makes his presence known. And now the city of Dallas will be seeing a lot more of him as the Dallas Stars have agreed to give Avery $15.5 million over four years. Stars co-manager Bret Hull said of the notorious player, "He goes against the stream, which I kind of like. He reminds me of myself in a way. I think every team needs that."

EDIT: He signed as an unrestricted free agent. Was NOT traded.

He's not worth $16 mill over 4 years even though I think very highly of him as a player. It was a shrewd move to let him walk.

Thanks, johnny5alive--I changed that.

Sorry to see him leave us, but let's have some common sense. He was asking for WAY more than he was worth.

He's not worth the paper the money is printed on. He's a marginal player at best.
