I get it for bottom 6/bottom pairing guys that might have trouble finding work but why does a coveted player need a middle man to figure this out for him?
Not just Giordano specifically of course, I know all the top players have agents. Just a general question. Seems like a good easy gig if you could get into it.

Having GMs talk directly to players would result in a lot more damage relationships. That's why teams and players will almost always avoid RFA arbitration cases. No one likes to hear why they don't deserve the money they think they do.
