Hamilton not interested in Sean Avery

If the Dallas Stars eventually try to send Sean Avery to the minors, the Hamilton Bulldogs won’t be a destination according to the Hamilton Spectator.

Bulldogs general manager Julien Brisebois says the Stars have not asked the Montreal Canadiens for permission to put Avery in Hamilton. And he says he’s not interested in having him here even if they did ask.

“The agreement we have with Dallas is for the two players that we currently have,” Brisebois said. “That doesn’t mean that they couldn’t ask us to take another player in Hamilton and if they did we would consider it. But we’re not interested in (Avery).”

Brisebois declined to give his reasons for not wanting Avery, who was recently suspended by the NHL for crude and disparaging remarks about his former girlfriends who are now dating other NHL players.

The Stars have defenseman Dan Jancevski and forward Tyler Shelast in Hamilton already.
