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.

Cause team contract isn't the only contract they negotiate. Sponsorships is another big thing. Media relations and issues with the team that need to be relayed to the PA etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they look after their housing accommodations, kid's schools, visa issues etc. for the family when they move to a new city/country.
