Rivalred 630 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) Way too much money for a person who played 57 games / 33 points / +6 rating - Are teams honestly projecting the Cap to go up even after next year and these salaries are going to be looking at as a lesser amount - yikes...

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 That's extremely rich for Avery's production, but the Stars are going to be really good again next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they figured (not fingered or maybe) they need a presence in front of the net and that is why they lost? - Eh who knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shoreline Report post Posted July 2, 2008 Damn, I so don't look forward to Avery annoying Ozzy or Conklin. Could be worse though. He could be back on the Wings. The price is so not worth it either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shannyfan1414 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 I see this year being a bad one for him. He flurished in the spotlight of LA and NY. Did OK while he was here in Detroit but really made a name for himself in the big media markets. Dallas is a good size market but is it big enough to please Avery? Will there be enough for him to do that is going to keep him out of trouble off the ice? I predict lower numbers on his stat line for the year and some kind of big media issue. Bigger then he has had before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirac 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 Holy crap. $3.75 for Avery. Sorry that is waaaay to much. I honestly don't follow Dallas that closely...were they in need of a pest in front of the net? I never imagined him getting more than 2 a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DallasStars 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 This entire off-season has featured people getting paid more than they deserve. This is no different. I personally don't like the guy, but whatever. We've had players I dont fancy before and will continue to as well. I do believe this means Barnes is getting closer to retiring and I'm hoping the rumors are true that he'd join our bench as an assistant/pk specialist.

TheGoonSquad0208 1 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 This is seeming to look like what brought the NHL into a lockout, outrageous salaries thrown out to players like Avery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
