Task 2
Nah, Johnny Shuffleboard does not need a stupid agent. All agents do is take a percentage of my hard earned cash. Pure stupidity, and I refuse to give up a penny to some stupid dude.
What Shuffleboard does have is a personal manager. He gets a regular paycheck. He is in charge of all non hockey related business. So this dude negotiates the new shiny contract with the Forge, and all the other endorsement stuff that Shuffleboard does.

Now what else would an agent do? Shuffleboard knows how to talk to team owners without any help. He is even capable of talking to GMs. Hey GM, don't you dare trade me okay? I'm going to be a great player one day.

Sadly, that one day isn't in the near future. Despite being one of the best offensive d-man in the Js, Shuffleboard has not produced on the offensive side at all in the bigs. Still he has thus far avoided being traded. Must be doing something right while talking to the owner and GM!
