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

Whether 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."

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

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

Thanks, johnny5alive--I changed 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.
