I really hate this tactic. "I'm not going to negotiate my contract during the season, I want to focus on hockey"... yeah, that's why you have an agent. He can negotiate without you being involved. Once they've got a deal on the table that he thinks is worth taking to you he'll do that, other than that you don't need to have any involvement whatsoever. This is why you pay that guy. It's insulting to try to sell this type of posturing to the public as "I'm focused on the team and winning".
