Sean Avery

acruce · 12-05-2008, 05:22 PM

A local radio station did an interview with Dave Tippet today. It doesn't sound like Avery will play another game in here in Dallas . If he has any say so in the matter. Although it will ultimately be Tom Hicks decision as to whether he has a future here in Dallas.

Some interesting conversation between ESPN analysts here:

Thanks for the ESPN link Tom, I always appreciate the perspective of Pierre LeBrun. He is a great asset to hockey.

On the suspension, that's the way that I thought it would go down. Meeting with league officials a minor suspension and he's on his way. Dallas may or may not keep him around, it's not like he could help them or hurt their season at this point, there is now way they will contend for a division or cup this year so do what best suits the team.

Sean's next team may be a minor market affiliate of the Stars. I don't see how another NHL team could justify the risk of signing a player that conducts himself this way on and off the ice.

Gotta agree with you Gregg...the Stars can either put him on waivers and send him to the minors, or buy him out in June...but then they would still suffer the salary cap hit.

A new LeBrun blog just got posted:
