Also, I thought that Tkachuk's uncle, Craig Oster (his mom's brother), was his agent, just like he was for Keith. Oster works with Meehan at Newport Sports. Unless something has changed in that regards, Meehan might not even be directly involved in the Tkachuk negotiations.
I think Meehan functions essentially as managing partner and is involved in all negotiations. Whereas client servicing would be up to Oster, I believe now that the client evaluation/compensation model isn't something controlled by an individual agent at Newport.
