Rick Curran is supposed to be on a beach right now, catching up on his reading or any of his various other hobbies. He is supposed to be enjoying his summer break, resting up before resuming his busy job as an NHL player agent, something he has done since 1978.
But it has been, in Curran's words, an "unenjoyable" summer so far. Why? Because two of his clients, unrestricted free agents Christian Ehrhoff and Jiri Tlusty, still have no NHL employer at the moment despite being considered quality players.
"I usually am done for the summer a half-hour past the start of free agency, seriously," Curran told Bleacher Report.
