Sean Avery: The NHL's Most Idiotic Player

The rumour floating around the media and the NHL is that the Stars will try to trade Avery, the rumour is all that more believable with Tippett’s comment in hand. No matter how much they try, it will be difficult for the Stars to trade the NHL’s biggest stain. Avery signed with Dallas to the tune of a four-year 16 million dollar deal.

Yes the Stars are paying four million dollars per year, for 33 points and 154 penalty minutes. Isn’t that a great lesson to the hockey youth? As Don Cherry would say “Now look here kids, if you can tie your own skates, be a loud mouthed obnoxious jerk to other players, disrespect the game of hockey, continuously get into confrontations with the media and most importantly of all, consistently put your team on the penalty kill.

You too can earn four million dollars per year in the NHL.” At this point in his career who will want that kind of baggage, not to mention that out of the ten years Avery has spent in the league, his team has only made it to the playoffs twice, and they never got past the first round.

The sexual image that comes to mind, with the words “sloppy seconds” should be enough to scare the other 29 teams in the NHL away from Avery, just like the kid with “coodies” in elementary school. Hopefully the NHL will suspend Avery forever, even though it is highly unlikely.

It does seem however that all of Avery’s past has caught up with him, and maybe Gary Bettman will introduce Avery to his new enemy, not Martin Brodeur, or even Dion Phaneuf, but karma, who after a long absence in his life will finally come full circle and slap Avery in the behind.

The Dallas Stars are last in the Western Conference, and cannot possibly go any lower from there, Avery will certainly either be traded or have his contract bought out. Maybe he will go and join fellow diva Ray Emery in the Kontinental Hockey League, where Emery is earning two million dollars per year tax free with Atlant Mytishchi.

Players of Avery’s type and attitude have no place in hockey. Avery tried Broadway with the New York Rangers but oddly enough the only stage he was allowed to play on was the Madison Square Garden ice.

At the end of his contract the Ranger’s could not throw him out the backstage door fast enough. Finally the NHL has realized that Sean Avery is more interested in being in front of the camera like his ex’s in Elisha Cuthbert and Rachel Hunter than playing hockey.
