Frankly, its unprofessional. His comments come of as someone who is JT's agent because he is JT's brother, not because he is qualified.

John is ridiculously unprofessional. Who picks fights with strangers on twitter?

Not Kadri, oh lord please not Kadri..

I'd do this trade for a Bozak or Raymond, T.J Brennan, and a pick.

What the ****????

This is some sort of joke right? Because you want Kadri to Winnipeg? Because I want nothing to do with Bozak or Raymond. Kadri, Gardiner, Reimer. Those are the only 3 players I think the Sharks have a remote chance of getting in trade that I would want. And then Kulimen as a UFA.

He does owe his brother for his start, which he acknowledges on twitter, but he does have other clients.

Also agents responding/ trolling people they feel are disparaging their client isn't uncommon. Allan Walsh does it all the time. You should see what he has said about Kurz. It was Kurz John was responding to, my guess is he doesn't really like him either; That could put the Ha, in a bit of a different context.

Alan Walsh is the epitome of unprofessional.

I think we will have to work a multiple team trade to move JT if he has a desired destination.

Compared to who? I think Walsh would say that about certain others.

Anyway, I think it we should at least acknowledge the possibility that the Ha was in regards to Kurz's request for a comment and not necessarily in regards to what he thought about the trade rumor.

Compared to literally every other agent... I kinda thought it was common knowledge that Walsh is a complete unprofessional dick.

Really, so when Larinov started to publically suggest to the media that the Oilers should trade Yakapov if they weren't willing to give him a larger role, was that professional?

Name one other instance of Larionov doing something like that. Yakupov was made a healthy scratch for doing literally the same things that Eberle does.

I wanna know why people care. Unprofessional? Please. I welcome more of a less homogenized media, not less.

I haven't read/heard anything he's said that screams "ridiculously unprofessional".

Joe to Toronto makes no sense. Jumbo won't waive and Leafs want to go younger.

I see Jumbo being traded to a playoff team one or two pieces away from being a true SC contender.

Part of the Leafs problem is that they're pretty young, have no focus on puck possession, and have a crappy head coach. Thornton won't go there obviously but Toronto could do far stupider things than trade for Thornton.

Except Trollton isn't contributing anything useful. If anything, it just puts Joe in a negative light. He should just say nothing.

To whom? A couple of people on a message board? I haven't seen many people complain about *John* on twitter. Sometimes this places operates in a serious vacuum.

I don't even know what to say to you. Bozak is horrendous. Kadri wouldn't be my first choice, but he's an excellent player and would be a great pickup.
