I believe Nylander has the same agent as Johnny. I remember there being a story whe n Johnny signed that his message to the agent was that he does not want to miss any games. I suspect we would have been in a similar boat had it not been for Johnny stepping in and taking control.

I am also curious if we now see a number of RFAs switch to this agent. For the agent, at the expense of Nylander, I believe the player does get some leverage in GMs knowing that this agent will push his players to sit to the deadline...the leads survived without him, bubble teams might lose a whole season with a key RFA sitting for 2 months.
