Honestly curious - how has JP's agent let him down? I wasn't aware of anything on that front ...

#1. I think his agent let him down early on when he couldn't speak English. JP was highly touted well before his draft year. His goal was to play in the NHL, a league entirely in an English speaking part of the world. His agent should have advised/set up English classes well before he was drafted. Lots of Finnish players can speak English. Laine, his friend, junior teammate spoke English. Him not speaking the language at all hampered him. Not being able to speak English continued on all through his ELC.

If I had planned to move to a new country for work and I knew this was coming years in advance, I would take classes to try and pick up some of the language as much as I could. These high end talents get on teams radars years in advance so he and his agent would have known playing in North America was a real possibility years in advance so not being able to speak a word of English so you can't understand what your coaches are teammates are trying to tell you, is a real fail on he and the agents part.

#2. Skill development. He struggles still with puck skills. His finishing hasn't improved, his shot hasn't improved as he doesn't have a great release, it's too slow. HIs accuracy isn't very good. He doesn't one time the puck very well and he doesn't handle the puck very well. To be a top 6 scoring winger like he says he wants to be, you have to be able to do all those things. All those things are what should be worked on in the offseason. He wasn't very good at all of those things his first year and 6 yrs later, it's still a problem. So in my opinion, he's clearly not working with a skills coach. If he is, then he needs to fire the guy. His agent should be telling JP to work with a skills coach to improve his puck skills. IF JP can't call one on his own, then do it for him. If McD works with a skills coach, no reason JP shouldn't be.

#3.Recognition of what kind of player you are and acceptance of other roles. JP felt he should be a top 6. He felt that coming out of his draft year, he's felt that all along. This was confirmed over the last few seasons where he and his agent vented frustration to the team. It was definitely confirmed by his interview this year where he admitted he thinks he's a scorer, he only wants to be a scorer and thinks maybe he needs to play in a different league to be a scorer. A good agent should be having a heart to heart with his client and give him the realities. He's not a big time scorer now in the NHL and probably never will be. That's OK. Being a good 3rd liner is very important to a team and you can have a very long, very successful career doing that. Lots of NHL bottom 6 guys were big time scorers when they were in junior. Not being a big time scorer in the NHL doesn't make you a failure but he sees himself as a failure because he doesn't score enough. That is where the agent needs to have a reality check with his client. Make him realize you can still be a good player and not be a big time scorer. If JP is down in the dumps and playing poorly because he's not a big time scorer because that's the only role he will accept, then his agent isn't doing his job.

Those are the big mistakes his agent has done in my opinion.
