This is a puff piece by Francis and paints Rasmus in the best light.

The reality & objective truth is a bit further to the middle.

To be brutally honest, Boston didn't want to deal with him anymore but that's probably the Agent's fault. When Boston puts their best and final on the table, its take or leave it. There's no modifying trade clauses, throwing in cupcakes, cherry on top etc nonsense.
Claude Lemieux was a PITA as a player, I'm sure it's the same as an agent.

It looks like he generally does pretty well for his clients, but I feel like guys like him and Walsh probably end up closing doors for their clients too since they are so abrasive.
