But yeah, good luck signing up with another athlete after that. No idea why athletes are signing up with her in the first place.

She’s carved out a niche, and her husband has always had good local connections. But IMO her success has either been with hockey players with really interesting/controversial lives (Theo, Probert, Cujo), and Lanny has sorta led a charmed life here. Plus, a whole lot of people never saw him play (versus the others), because of when his career was, so they aren’t as interested. Perhaps she had to amp up some of what little controversy she could find - the car fatality caused by his mom, the Colorado trade, or maybe his lack of success in finding meaningful hockey management jobs, and he wouldn't like that.
