Top NHL Hockey Agents Have Negotiated Over $500 Million In Contracts for Players

Edge Sports Management has negotiated hundreds of NHL contracts worth in excess of $500 million.

The hallmark of Edge Sports Management is that they are a full-service firm dedicated to providing personal and intensive sports management services.  Their expertise allows them to enhance a players’ draft status as well as to secure top contracts for drafted and undrafted players.

No matter what situation a player faces, Edge Sports Management has been there before, and their clients can rely on their collective experience to negotiate a successful result.

Edge Sports Management has over thirty years of experience advising players in all stages of their careers.  They work to help develop their players and to enhance their draft status.  They have negotiated maximum “cap” contracts for drafted and undrafted entry-level players; been very successful in salary arbitration; procured excellent contracts for NHL free agents; and have negotiated some of the largest contracts in the history of the NHL.  The contract that Edge Sports Management negotiated for Dan Boyle was the largest total contract ever received by a defenseman at that time ($40,000,000 over 6 years). They also negotiated the longest contract (10 years) in the history of the Los Angeles Kings for Jonathan Quick. This was one of the largest contracts ($58,000,000) ever received by a goaltender. 

ESM does not have “recruiters” that work for them. They are directly involved with the player and his family every step of the way. At Edge Sports Management, your agent will be with you from the beginning of your career to the end, and you will not be handed off from the recruiter to the agent as many other firms do. They realize and embrace the fact that their responsibilities to clients go far beyond simply negotiating a contract. They are there to help their players and their families at every stage of their lives, and in any situation that they may need assistance.

Edge Sports Management provides its clients with a complete range of tax preparation and planning.

Tax laws have placed a huge burden on athletes. Most U.S. states require athletes to file an income tax return if the athlete had played a game in that state. This means that on top of their federal return, athletes have to file as many as twenty state returns as well.

The agents at ESM work with top accounting firms in the United States and Canada to prepare all state, federal, and provincial tax returns for their clients.

Without proper estate planning, the government can take a significant portion of a player’s net worth. Therefore, it is imperative that an athlete properly prepares so that his estate does not lose that amount of wealth. They align their clients with top estate planners so that their clients can rest assured that their families will be well taken care of in all situations.

 

Edge Sports Management works hard to provide their players with a variety of opportunities.

ESM clients have been used in television, radio, and print advertisements on both a regional and national level. They have also negotiated large equipment and trading card contracts for many of their clients. The team at Edge Sports Management is constantly searching for opportunities for their athletes in order to provide them with marketing income while introducing them to business contacts that may provide their players with opportunities after retirement.
