Sean Avery's brief time with the Dallas Stars is over. ?Just 165 days aftersigning?the outspoken winger to a 4-year deal, the Stars announced this morning that Avery will not be a part of the organization moving forward. ?The left winger?lasted 23 games before his comments in Calgary earned him a six-game suspension, opening the door for his teammates and the organization to reveal their?true feelings.

For the Stars organization, Avery serves as the perfect scapegoat. For now. Players can blame early season?struggles?-?and there?have been?plenty of them?- on Avery being a distraction within the locker room. He's clearly irked veterans Mike Modano and Marty Turco, and with Brenden Morrow out for the year, there isn't a constant presence of strong, unquestionable leadership to stand up to Avery. But with this problem now gone, this cancerous tumor now removed, how quickly can the Stars bounce back, if at all?
