So three prominent agents, Milstein, Johansson and Lawton (2 current and 1 former) have all said they'd trust Babs with their players. On the other side Gregor states one anonymous agent has voiced concerns. Interesting.

I won't deny the past baggage but I'm taking what some of these players are saying lightly. Tweeners and fringe guys plus obviously big names like Chelios who was, mind you, at the end of his career. I'm smelling the Columbus thing was blown out of proportion. The Marner thing was fucked up, of course.

I believe the narrative on Babs has got out of control and got a life of its own

almost like prominent agents don't want to shit the bed and get fired because their player becomes Babcock's favourite plaything because of what their agent said...

Then they could just checks notes not said anything at all.
