If you think Sean Avery was the only young NHL who made that assumption you're dreaming. I'm betting most of the guys who get a one-way contract in the NHL assume they'll never have to work again. If anything, Avery is trying to point out the folly of that assumption.

Avery isn't an especially likeable guy, but he's one of the few people willing to point out some of the more foolish attitudes common among players in the league.
