Will NHL players be playing in the next Olympics? 7 yes 15 no
Will we see an offer sheet this summer? 19 no 2 yes 1 maybe
1 agent said Brad Treliving was the most unreasonable to deal with. Bob Murray was top with 4 agents and Doug Armstrong was 2nd with 3. 6 GMs including Treliving had 1 agent. 3 Gms had 2 agents.
and of course the most interesting question of all:

I’m glad Tre is a pain for agents. Their jobs oppose each other fundamentally. And it’s hard to argue with the contracts he’s gotten our young core on.

Wow. So many hidden messages there from agents! Really interesting poll.
My favourite quote about Bettman's grade: “B. He owns everybody like little puppets, whether I like him or hate him.”

On the issue of participation in Olympic games, I was not only surprised by the majority of agents thinking that it's not gonna happen (against Bettman's more optimistic statements), but also by WHY they think it's not gonna happen. I didn't realize that most of the players simply want a free 2-wk break from schedule.

It isn’t a list. It’s a poll. The question was “pick 2 teams most likely to”. This doesn’t mean Calgary is listed on less NTC’s than other cities.
A poll done by agents. You know... the people who negotiate the NTCs on behalf of their clients who, in turn, discuss with them possible scenarios and which teams would go on or off, accordingly.
You’re right, it’s a poll... but it’s not exactly a Calgary Sun Fan poll or a Billy on the Street poll.
