He's sure got a lot of Predators. Hmm, what's that expression about birds of a feather?

Overhardt Kiss of death. He's gone before age 25.

 

[DRC]

And there goes my happy place

 

[John Agar]

Kurt Uberfart...

 

[Bob E]

Hopefully he earns and deserves a huge raise coming out of his ELC.

 

[Calcutta]

What's the deal with overhardt then? I mean we all know how Trohba and Copp have gone down but does he have a record of getting other players signed on decent contracts or has Cole gone out and made sure he's getting out of Winnipeg at the first opportunity?

Copp wants out, Petan wanted out, Trouba wanted out, Perfetti wants... tbd

 

[DRC]

Is there any player that Kurt reps on our team or has that doesn't have the trade death of gloom? This is supposed to be my happy place. I appreciate everyone's different but come on

I am not concerned that Overhardt is Perfetti’s agent.

 

[Jeti]

I am not concerned that Overhardt is Perfetti’s agent.

Yeah, it's definitely not a good thing, but it's also not worth getting upset about the Jets maybe losing him in 7+ years.

For all we know he'll bust, so let's wait until he's good before being paranoid.

 

[WiscoJet]

Welp the optimism we all shared had a good run

 

[John Agar]

I am not concerned that Overhardt is Perfetti’s agent.

I am concerned for you sanity '241...

Have you checked your temperature... I believe you're feverish...

A Cole bug... ?

To those who think this is not a big deal please convince me. It seems every Jet he has represented has wanted out or is jaded/disgruntled/ have ruffled feathers disease.

I have heard whispers about Cole's character being in question. Him slipping in the draft and now this has me concerned. So my fellow board members please tell me I'm wrong, being premature and illogical. It will make me feel better.

Really?
Where did you hear this?

Maybe from the same guy that has whispered this and that about Laine too. 100% reliable internet source.

I mean, I've heard nothing but glowing reviews about his character.

He would have had the agent before the draft. Let’s not put the cart before the horse.

Ugh. He's obviously a bust.

I heard it from hfboards member lanky. The 10th post from the previous thread.

Exactly what I DID NOT want to happen.

I've heard his effort be questioned. I hope that doesn't turn out to be a problem.

So honestly its not whispers its 1 whisper and a quiet one. And it's questioning his giver rather than overall character .Didnt think much of it at the time . But now that I know who his agent is, that whisper just got louder. I'm also wondering stronger now on why he dropped.

 

[BoneDocUK]

Really?

Seems incredible given the mountain of articles, interviews and profiles dating back to his PeeWee days attesting to his smarts, application and dedication to charitable causes, his selection for the Academic POTY, the various notes from respected pundits and coaches describing him as bright, articulate, a terrific interview already at age 18, and also thoughtful and compassionate, committed to fairness and interested in social justice, etc, etc.

Incredible enough to be total BS. IMO, of course.

Kurt Overhardt is a hard negotiator but in the end he like every other agent does what his client asks of him. We are a bit jaded here because the few players that we have had represented by him have gone through arbitration. Trouba pretty much never wanted to be here so his agent tried to orcistrate his exit from a pretty early stage. Copp I think is fine here but there are disagreements on his overall contract value and when you put two tough negotiators into a room together sometimes you need a third party to decide.

If Cole is happy here and him and the Jets agree on his value then I imagine there will be no real issue in inking him to a long term contract after his ELC.

 

[Calcutta]

How long has he been his agent? If before the draft then that's a bit less of a worry, kid probably thought he was going somewhere else anyway.
How does overhardt do with his clients outside the Jets? Are they all causing issues?

Here is a list of his agency's clients:

A good many of them have signed long term fair deals with their respective draft teams like Gibson, Slavin, Larkin, Ekholm. There have also been some that wanted fresh starts like Johansen in Columbus and Turris in Arizona that were moved out. I would imagine you would find the same no matter which agency you looked at.
