I was thinking about Wideman when I read this part:
If a player has dropped out of the top-six or the top-four D, if his minutes have been dropping, a younger player has passed him or he’s a healthy scratch, he’s going to want a trade. He’s not going to be happy. I have to calm him down, but he’s only going to calm down if I’m advocating for him. I have to call the GM. ... ... No matter what, a GM is going to do what’s in his best interests and, if you’re an agent advocating for a player, you’re hoping the GM’s best interests overlap with your client’s.
Good read!
