Brisson got the ball moving by getting his OWN imaging for Jack’s neck. Something he controlled and could send to other teams ( Sabres openness with this came later). He also got more surgeons to sign off on ADR being a good option for Jack. Instead of just the one surgeon (Prusmack) who initially recommended it. It was an effort tpo make potential trade partners more comfortable with ADR.
Jack’s previous agents could have done all those things. None of it required participation from the Sabres. But instead their strategy was to attack the Sabres publicly. All in a misguided attempt to force Adams into doing what they wanted (Surgery or trade Jack). Every time his previous agents were quoted. Most of us were thinking “what are the doing? How is this going to help?” That was especially true with the letter they sent out after free agency started. It aggressively attacked the Sabres and was basically a tantrum over Jack not being traded at that point.
