So based on some things you know, are teams for lack of a better word becoming reluctant to deal with tat agent in terms of the collage players he represents?
2023-24 #2: Phantoms (AHL), Reading Royals (ECHL), NCAA, Jrs., Int'l, etc.

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I’m not saying I don’t believe it but the agent thing is dumb. Scott Boras used to be a bogeyman in baseball when he took advantage of dumb front offices in baseball. But then the whole league over time moved away from the old guard in front offices & get considerably smarter to know they dictate things not an agent(s).
With the news of Kolosov not returning to the Phantoms this season, Lehigh signs backup AHLer Keith Petruzzelli.
McDavid could have been represented by Satan, and he still would have gone #1.
I'm not sure I take the agent thing that seriously, it's not like an agent has a lot of leverage given the rules, Fox was exceptional b/c he wasn't coming out before his junior season, so he just had to give up one year of income.
We simply don't know, Gauthier grew up in Arizona, maybe a couple years in Boston convinced him that the East Coast wasn't where he wanted to end up. Maybe it was the agent.

Players get coached by agents these days and often read from a "script."
Just b/c he said it, doesn't mean he meant it.
And that was before he spent a year in Boston.
We don't know why b/c he has never said anything.
Andrae woulda scored.
Drysdale would have scored too...
but also dislocated something and have had 35% corsi in the game...
aha.
Good grief, Zev Buium skates like Mark Friggin' Howe. What a disaster.
I think this will hurt much worse than passing on Caufield. He's scored a lot of goals, but so have TK, and OT and how many right hand shooting wingers signed to 8 year deals do you need. Two is a stretch, three would be nuts. 
Past three seasons
Caufield: 77 goals in 195 games
Konency: 80 goals in 215 games
Tippett: 65 goals in 218 games

He's going to look great QB'ing our PP for the next decade
Imagine seeing that skill and saying, nah, we good. Be a f***ing Flyer baby.
so excited to watch buium in the orange and black this season 
I only watched him play in one game during their playoff off run and was completely floored how good he was. I can not believe he fell and did not draft him
If he was bigger, not as skilled and a slower skater they would of drafted him.
That and apparently being afraid of an agent
No but he's still probably a better skater than risto seeler zamula and johnsonHave you seen Mark Howe skate lately?
Still skates better than Johnson! LOL!Have you seen Mark Howe skate lately?
If Drysdale stays the same or gets worse this year then we have a lot more pressure on Briere for passing on Buium.
When you already have ELITE undersized defensemen like Cam York, Jamie Drysdale, and Emil Andrae...adding Buium would have been redundant.
Phantoms bring back Marody for two years.
Not sure how I feel about that, on the one hand, he's a proven AHL scoring veteran, on the other hand he's a defensive liability at center. Just too slow of a skater.
Hopefully, he'll move to RW where his defensive struggles will be less of a problem, and if healthy, can help the PP.
