The player and the general manager are always front and centre whenever news happens in the NHL. But there is also a lot that goes on behind the scenes before any trade or signing is made. Who does the GM contact to get in contact with a trade acquisition? Who helps players when moving to a new city? The answer to all of the above questions is NHL player agents and their agencies.
