Inside the NHL Agent’s Secret Rankings: Shocking Best and Worst Teams, Jaw-Dropping Contracts, and the Next Commissioner Revealed
On the Canucks: “No alignment with what’s happening in the organization. It just can’t get going anywhere. Just a discombobulation. Good people, nice guys, but it’s just not working. So it makes it difficult for you to manage to bring a free agent there, hypothetically.”
“Vancouver’s hard because they have no plan. How do you sell players on an organization where you can’t get a grasp of what they’re actually trying to do?”
On Anaheim: “When I start negotiating a contract with Anaheim, I tell my (partner), ‘You take the first 10 calls with (assistant GM) Jeff Solomon because I don’t want to waste my time.’ Then when it gets to the end, I get involved because otherwise we’re all wasting our f—ing time. They’ll fight like tooth and nail for like 10 grand at the end of a deal. If you have a player at a million (point) one and you want it a million (point) 15, it’s going to be a f—ing grind. Everything’s a grind.”
