Kris Letang says amazing things about Kent Hughes
Letang recently spoke with TVA's Renaud Lavoie regarding Hughes' talents as a GM.
«My first reaction is that I am extremely proud, I am happy for Kent. I have a relationship of almost 20 years with him. He has become a very close person. As an agent, it's not just about negotiating contracts and taking care of the hockey portion. When you develop such relationships, these people know everything about your life, you trust them with everything. It is an extension of your family"
«He is an excellent GM, a hockey enthusiast, and to see him reach this level, it will open even more doors for him. He really knows hockey, on a level that people don't understand."
"He's a man who will take the time to listen to you and gather all the information you have to give him. Everyone experiences different things and they will try to put themselves in your shoes by giving you the best possible advice. And if he is not able, he will always make the best decision for you or will try to see someone else in order to obtain the result that is necessary»,
«The general manager should be an extension of your dressing room. You shouldn't feel that your GM is the scary boss or the person who wants to give you the lowest salary to stay under the cap. He must be easy to approach and when you need anything, his door must be open. We now see it more and more, he said. Kent is right, a lot of players find communication lacking. With his experience as an agent, he will be able to change that and bring a lot of positives."
