ESPN.com is reporting the Dallas Stars have put winger Sean Avery on waivers, which could clear the way for hsi return to the Rangers.
The report says, “The controversial winger was cleared from the NHL/NHLPA counselling program either Friday night or Saturday morning, which officially put him back on the Stars’ roster. Dallas then immediately put him on waivers.
Avery, who has undergone anger management counseling for two months, must clear waivers before being assigned to an American Hockey League club. That’s where he’s going to likely resume his hockey career for now.”
The Post’s Larry Brooks first reported the Rangers’ interest in a reunion with Avery, and the Stars yesterday said they had no interest in bringing him back.
Avery has not played since he was suspended by the NHL in early December for dergoartory comments made about former players and his ex-girlfriend.
