wait duclair is representing himself?
and 1year 1m? shit id take him for that
ottawa offered him like 4x4 or something, he rejected the offer. Fired his agent, and chose to represent himself, thinking he can get 5x5 somewhere.
After talking with teams and no one is willing to do anything close to what he wants, Ferraro thinks he's being offered 1yr deals at low mil range.
Melnyk says his offer still stood few days ago, but idk if that's still the case otherwise Duclair woulda pounced on that shit, unless his ego is hurt lol

Even though Doughty got money he has no structure or trade protection. Agents can minimax deals for players and hardball on every clause.
Don't feel one bit bad for Duclair, most uncertain FA era and he thinks he can do it all lol
yeah he fucked up big time, he loses more money than paying the agent 3-5% cut. Like if lockout were to happen, EK loses about 2mil, whereas Doughty would lose 8 mil.
He's not buyout proof either, not front loaded either, so basically if he's bought out toward end of his contract, he's not gonna make full profit of his contract. Seeing how he dropped off the cliff rather sooner than later, it's gonna suck dick for him lol
Kings basically loved the fact he represented himself, took full advantage of the structure, blinding him with the money he wanted lmao
