Stars Sign Sean Avery to Four-Year Deal
FRISCO, Tex. - The Dallas Stars announced today that the club has signed free agent left wing Sean Avery to a four-year contract that will pay him a total of $15.5 million ($3.5 million next season, and $4 million in 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12).

"We are excited about the opportunity to add a player like Sean Avery to our group," said Stars Co-General Manager Brett Hull. "His ability to play the game with skill and tenacity makes us a better team and is a great complement to the players we have here."

In 86 games with New York over the last two seasons, the Rangers went 50-20-16 with Avery in the lineup, while going 9-13-3 without him on the ice.

Avery, 28, collected 33 points (15 goals, 18 assists) in 57 games with the New York Rangers last season, and placed second on the club with 154 penalty minutes and tied for third with four game-winning goals. In eight Stanley Cup Playoff games with the Rangers this past spring, Avery recorded four goals and three assists for seven points with six penalty minutes.

A native of Pickering, Ontario, Avery has skated in 379 career NHL games with the Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers, collecting 65 goals and 102 assists for 167 points with 1,067 penalty minutes. He has appeared in 18 career Stanley Cup Playoff games, all with the Rangers, earning 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) and 33 PIM.

Avery's most productive NHL season came in 2006-07, split between Los Angeles and the Rangers, when he posted career-highs in goals (18), assists (30), points (48), shots on goal (249), average time on ice (17:11) and games played (84). He also led the Rangers and placed fifth in the league with 174 minutes during that campaign.

The 5-10, 195-pound left wing was undrafted, but made his NHL debut with Detroit on Dec. 19, 2001 vs. Vancouver, and scored his first NHL goal (a game-winner) on Mar. 2, 2002 vs. Pittsburgh. During the 2003-04 season with Los Angeles, he led the NHL and set a career-high with 261 penalty minutes. He appeared in 221 Ontario Hockey League games with Owen Sound and Kingston, registering 87 goals and 166 assists for 253 points, along with 564 penalty minutes.

When the Rangers signed Aaron Voros, that pretty much spelled the end of Avery's days in Manhattan.

Great, so now we have to deal with Tucker in Colorado, and Avery in Dallas. Detroit better not f*ck this up. If Downey goes, McCarty is gonna have one hell of a season trying to keep up.

I believe there will be pretty good games between Pacific division teams.

Welcome back to the West, Sean. Specifically, the Pacific Division. Phoenix/Stars games are going to be fun to watch next year....

ESPN is reporting they are only in talks, has this been confirmed? If so Sean is back in the west were he belongs. I wonder what practices are going to be like, he will fight morrow or ott every practice. Can't wait for the season to start, we might get to see Doan vs Avery after all.

Yes, TSN just confirmed it about 3 minutes ago.
