Taro T Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 So, aren't agents typically paid a portion of the contract they negotiate for their client? If so, how do the agent fees for the next 5 years work? Do the former agents still get their cut? Does that switch to Brisson? Do they split the commission like a RE transaction w/ a buyers agent & a sellers agent? Does Eichel's agent fees now double? And, Does this mean he wants to still be a Sabre? (Yes, THAT question was rhetorical. 😞 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 He's grasping at straws. A sign of desperation perhaps? After their latest meeting with Sabres brass, I'd reckon Peter Fish is advising him to hold off on surgery as the disc is in fact healing on it's own, albeit slowly. His impatient young client disagrees. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisson represents Crosby who has had his fair share of pretty serious ailments over the years. He also represents a much deeper list of big players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the team they were trying to trade him to doesn't have a good working relationship with his agent?

That Aud Smell Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Brisson also represents Zegras. Just now, darksabre said: Maybe the team they were trying to trade him to doesn't have a good working relationship with his agent? I could see other GM's wanting a player they are trading for to be represented by someone they trust. If you're a buyer (or a seller for that matter), it makes an absolutely huge difference to have a broker involved whom you trust. The prior agents were, IIRC, very sort of NCAA-focused -- somewhat outside the NHL loop. Brisson is a true insider. It is logical to believe that this will help get things moving. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosby wasn't demanding a trade, but coming off the concussion in 2011-12, he got a big contract from Pittsburgh. So there's that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get railing on the emoji stuff (I guess) but changing agents is a "hissy fit"? Like I said, there isn't a single thing that could happen that couldn't be fit into the "Jack is a baby" line of thinking if one wants it to enough 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
