Also says something about GMs vs. Agents, if the Agents tend to be more convincing more of the time.
That suggests that they're just better at their job. It's all about finding the right comparables and making a strong case. If teams aren't doing that, then they are going to struggle, but it is worth noting, when they're negotiating contracts, they're arguing against these exact same agents.
To me, that's a hire-better-GMs problem.
With regards to McLeod - what RDOF describes is a third line player. If he was consistently producing night in and night out, then he'd have a lot more points and he'd be a top line player and be about to get paid a lot more.
There is definitely a scenario here with McLeod where the team is forced to either walk away from a decision, or needs to trade someone else. If I'm in Holland's shoes, I would be checking constantly to see where there are takers for my over-priced contracts (Foegele, Ceci, Kulak, Nurse, Kane, Campbell) and what I can get in return for those players to clear more cap room. Between this and the danger of an offer sheet for Bouchard, the Oilers need to find some flexibility. I think it's likely there's a market for some of those players, so find someone who values them more, and see what is out there as potential replacements at a lower cost. I wouldn't make an announcement to DNB that I'm only having conversations as a means to clearing more cap room too. Let someone else read through the lines, rather than making it super clear as it'll only result in them trying to charge you an asset to take someone they might actually value.

As an arbitration only discussion, this has nothing to do with agents being better at their jobs than GMs. Arbitrators are selected solely on the perception they will give a fair award. If they want to keep working they have to write decisions that both parties will accept as fair. Even if it's only a grudging acceptance.
Now, I agree that agents are probably better prepared, partially because they have an easier job with limited focus, and hiring smarter GMs would be a good idea.
