Since leaving the NHL, Avery has become a fashion designer and an actor. You may have even seen him in the movie Oppenheimer. Having said that, he is also someone who likes to troll, especially when you ask him very personal questions.
Recently, a reporter was looking to ask NHL players about their first-ever purchase with their first-ever paycheque from the league. Avery was asked this question and he gave an answer you could expect from him. Essentially, he spent his money on psychedelic drugs.
It's hard to tell whether or not Avery is joking or not. After all, this has always been his way of operating. That said, it is an amusing story that we're sure plenty of his fans can appreciate.
