Former Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers enforcer André Deveaux is being made to pay for a vicious attack he committed last week. After a home video of Deveaux brutally assaulting a player during warmups went viral, his contract has been terminated by Rogle BK of Sweden’s second-tier professional league. In addition, the victim of his attack Per Helmerrson of VIK Vasteras HK is pressing charges against Deveaux for his act. Deveaux rushed the player from behind and hacks his ankles before cracking him in the back of the head with his stick. It was a truly outrageous act of aggression. In an updated video released by Swedish Press today, an even more disturbing revelation was made. You can clearly see one of Rogle BK's assistant coaches lean in and tell something to Deveaux before he skates out to get Helmerrsson. Although there's no proof the coach instructed Deveaux to initiate, it certainly does not look like Deveaux was planning anything until the conversation. Here is the updated video of the incident:
