How hard is this? Work to a point where you have an offer put together with the agent. The agent takes it to the player, says, "here's where we landed, it's as good as I can get them to do. Yes or no?" Player says yes or no. Returns to playing hockey.
This may be common but I wouldn't put up with it if I were a GM. It's a deliberate tactic to apply pressure to the team by shortening the bargaining window.
