Canucks News N Notes 25-26

[griz]

A player gets the ultimate say on what they sign for. The agent just negotiated and tries to squeeze for more. An agent is obligated to take contract offers back to their client, the only time they don’t have to do this is when the player has already told them that the answer to $X is “no”.

Management certainly wears this. The agent just did his job. The player thought he was worth more than he is. That’s not intended as hater talk, just reality.

Yes but. The agent has financial incentive and their skillset is a form of manipulation and negotiation that can go both ways. But yes you are correct the player has the ultimate say. Even if he is in his 20s and green behind the ears.

Don’t forget the media fucking frenzy that was happening. They whipped the people into the said pressure with the ‘shades of Tkchuk’ narrative.

Yes I forgot to mention the media. They too are a part of the blame.

Just a reminder that we have "Petey" thread - viewtopic.php?p=607761#p607761

Thanks Corn. I suppose there's not a lot more to say about Petey other than we'll all have to wait and see (kind of like we have been).

Sorry Corn. I wasn’t paying attention to which thread I was in.

I read Petey and automatically see red.

Just ask JPP.
