Avery breaks off contract talks

The Dallas Stars have placed forward Toby Petersen on re-entry waivers. The process involving re-entry waivers changes after the trade deadline, as a team can claim Petersen for half price and place him on their NHL roster, but they cannot play him in the regular season or in playoff games for the remainder of the season. That allows teams to make call-ups like this without much risk of losing a player. Source
