Winnipeg Jets Player Fire Agent

Evgeny Svechnickov was a first overall pick back in 2014 taken 19th overall by the Detroit Red Wings. Svechnickov was killing it when he played back in the QMJHL for the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles and continued to improve when he went to the American Hockey League, playing for the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Unfortunately for Svechnickov he hasn't been able to make much of a impact in the NHL yet.

Last year, Svechnikov played with the Winnipeg Jets, only managing to get 19 points in 72 games. Svechnikov was only making $750k, but so far this off-season Svechnikov hasn't been signed yet causing him to fire his agent.

This tactic has worked in the past for previous players including defenseman John Klingberg. After firing his agent he signed with the Anaheim Ducks.
