Ever seen him react when a bigger guy goes after him? turtles and falls down.. that's not a hockey player.
If he would cut out the bullshit i would be all for it.

The "agitator" roll exists, Matthew Barnaby, Darcy Tucker, and Claude Lemieux are good examples and arguably less skilled then Avery.
If George Laroque came after me I'd turtle too
He does bring a lot of bullshit to a team, but I believe his value as a player is a bigger upside much like the hated Ron Artest in basketball.
