Pest Avery wore out his welcome
Sean Avery is with his third team since 2006 and has never spent more than two full seasons with any of his three previous clubs. The Rangers made no attempt to re-sign him. "I spent some time trying to figure out why it happened," Avery said. "Why they didn't want me back in New York? It's tough to say." Frankly, Avery is the kind of guy who can only last so long in one place, because sooner or later he's going to drive his teammates and management as crazy as he does the opposition.

Calling Markus Naslund "a bit soft" is like calling Pamela Anderson a bit chesty.

I envy the Stars having Avery. They are better right now than they were losing to Detroit. As Brett Hull said, you need guys like Avery to beat Detroit. I look forward to Avery banging Hosebag next year.
I laugh at Tin Man Naslund in NY. He is going to get eaten alive by fans there the moment they realize what they got.
Although some will jump in and say he got 26?? goals last year and X number of points??? BFD.
As the number one centre and captain earning huge $$ that was far from OK.
He has been done since Steve Moore rocked his world.

How log did he sign with Dallas for? Four years? I do hope he and Brett room together again! I wonder who would want out of town first! I think they will both want to leave town at the same time! And ... Modano will want to retire by Christmas!

$4 MIL is a joke!
Bret, I thought you were a good GM. Now you're just signing old buddies. Ridiculous.
Avery, I hope that hit in the picture - from whoever it was - really hurt!
No go on mess up an always classy team and get yourself know in Dallas. BTW, you should have gone to San Antonio instead, you;d have a chance to nab Eva Longoria away from Parker! Dallas... not so many hotties in the movies. Looser.

A four year deal?
Are you kidding me?
Brett Hull said he thought this was a no-brainer.
He's right, a four year contract with Avery will seem like an eternity. Avery can't figure out why the NYR did not want him back....hahahha
Because you're an idiot Sean...that's why.
LOL at Dallas...have fun boys.

Haha (bostongm), although it's impressively low compared to some of the stupid-money that's been thrown around thus far.
Personally, I can't stand him and as a Habs fan, I'm pleased to see him go out west. Good riddance.

Look at their win/loss record with Avery and w/out Avery over the past 2 seasons and tell me why they didnt sign him. Also, with Naslund and Redden, they are getting much softer, not tougher as they needed (Orpik, anyone?). Soft is not good in a division with Flyers, Devils, etc

Avery might work him over but Holmstrom will just take it.
It's the Sisters in Hongcouver that are going to hate Tucker and Avery in the west.
