Two agents with contrasting views have spoken out amid news that NHL player agents have expressed unhappiness with the NHL Players’ Association’s leadership.

“The NHLPA has an unfortunate history of eating their own,” said Allan Walsh of Octagon Hockey, who joined Bob McCown on Prime Time Sports on Thursday to discuss the rumblings of discontent.

Asked whether he felt something untoward might be going on in the NHLPA — there has been talk that the agents in question are looking for information about the union’s finances — Walsh responded: “Absolutely not.”

According to Walsh, a small group of player agents have been unhappy with the union’s leaders over issues such as the 15.5 per cent escrow players must pay, but those agents’ complaints, he said, are misplaced.
