Meehan is a pro. but not a bomb thrower or super aggressive. He tends to get fair deals for his clients. He doesn't tend to stoop to the risk of blowing relationships with GMs. I think he operates much like Treliving, and they will get something done. I can't recall any client of his who's held out.

He does owe Treliving a solid for the Neal deal.

ETA: He had some holdouts like Peca and Nabokov a long time ago. Once Sergei Kostitsyn held out but that was not a contract issue - it was a demotion issue (and Meehan told him not to refuse to report).

Doughty and Pietrangelo missed some camp in 2011 and 2012. And Subban held out for 4 games in the short 2013 season. But he didn't seem to have burned any bridges and ended up with a renewal later on (avoiding arb).
