Sean Avery and Corey Perry are very similar in their styles of play. While Perry may have the upper hand on skill, they both made an interesting career out of getting under players' skin and drawing penalties. They aren't known, however, for dropping the mitts as traditional tough guys.
Obviously, Sean Avery's take on the drama between Perry and Reaves doesn't mean much, but it is interesting to see him predict that Reaves will not be in the lineup midway through the season, since he believes Reaves isn't good enough to be in the lineup as the season goes on.
