God you all are searching for excuses like a school girl at the end of the day facing detention, and your reasoning fkn matches the desperation.

It's pathetic, take a step back.

LOL, the agent is paid to navigate this sphere based on his clients wishes. Either he didn't f***in truly understand his clients wishes or he went for the bag. With nothing else taking president.

Miss communication happens, but based on what i know and can deduce at this point. I'd fire his ass immediately.

Mikko isn't happy, his goal of being an Av for life was just broken, he's f***in on another team.

Sorry, his agent should know what he wants as much as he does or better.

His agent is trash, and failed him. f***IN FACT.

In intelligence as an operative, the ability to gather, and then formulate the correct decision here would be the most basic requirements of my job.

This is 1+1 level shit. They're both responsible, but the agent is supposed to take the mantle while he focuses on hockey.

The agent failed MASSIVELY.

100%.

Did anyone blame the agent for the trade or for Mikko refusing the Avs offer?

I hope not.

He did, by saying he didn't see it coming.

100%.

I appreciate you backing me up on that. It's a devisive take, but brutal honesty. I don't really know anything.

He did, by saying he didn't see it coming.

Which was stupid and his job to see it coming. f*** we all seen it coming.

Maybe they weren't on the same page, but his agent read him wrong, and the team wrong.

Which is completely on him. He's literally there to bridge the gap.

Mikko should fire this guy for playing a game of chicken with his life.

I find it interesting that he's not committing to Carolina. Could it be maximizing his salary by going to UFA? Yes. Could it also be that he's still processing the shock of being traded? Yes. Could it also be how can he commit to Carolina if he's no longer sure about his agent? Yes.

Agents worry about their reputations and egos. And it seems like that probably got in the way here. As you alluded to, his main job is to represent the wants and wishes of his client. It seems like he put himself first here.

But doesnt it also say something about most NHL gms? He was so confident in this tactic. The problem is the "**** around and find out" part of it came at Mikko's expense. And its not like there's any elegance here. Its not exactly a demonstration of skill to simply wait things out. Mikko could have paid someone trying to pass a bar exam to do this.

I agree that Mikko listened to this guy based on the premise that he does this for a living while Mikko is a hockey player. Mikko has every right to fire this guy if he feels he can no longer trust him.

Frustration of Necas wiffing up so many goal opportunities is slowly building up.

He needs to man up infront of goal if he wants to rise to the top.

Did Drury play 4C for the canes? Is that why some here insist on him being 4C here too?

Nahh, Drury is a 3C.
