Implementing an exciting brand of hockey will help.
If I'm an offensive player looking for a 2-3 year contract, why would I ever choose Montreal since my offensive numbers are gonna die on the vine and I'll lose millions on my next contract?
That’s no longer the case, if Hughes is to be believed:
Offence, possession, speed.
As a player agent, he knows that a player’s offensive numbers drive contract numbers. He’s offering an environment that will do just that.
Now, what is that “perfect world” he was referring to? Probably the one that will result from having implemented his management strategies and after having hired his “modern coach”, conceivably one that communicates and understands players on their level and who will favor an offensive playbook.
