I disagree that a team needs him. Teams need 4 lines of Sidney Crosbys, 3 pairings of Erik Karlssons and Chris Prongers and 2 Goalies of Patrick Roy and Marty B. No room for idiot agitator fringe NHLers...
Brodeur probably wanted to swing his stick at Avery's head, and that's exactly what Avery wanted him to do... take a penalty. Avery was great at getting under the opponent's skin, and that's exactly what his job was. A lot of his off-ice shit was classless, ignorant stuff, but he was an excellent pest. If it weren't for all that off-ice stuff, I bet he'd still be on an NHL roster today.
At any rate, if Avery is engaged, good for him.
