Nick Cousins, the NHL's most hated player makes major move to save his career
Nick Cousins is fresh off a Stanley Cup win with the Florida Panthers but remains an unsigned free agent. He's now changed his agent in the hope of getting signed.
It was reported earlier today by Hockey Insider Frank Seravalli that the NHL's most hated pest, Nick Cousins, has fired his agency company and replaced them with a new organization.
Nick Cousins has been waiting for six weeks now to be signed by an NHL team, and coming off a Stanley Cup win with the Florida Panthers, many thought teams would have been flocking to him. Unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way, which could be due to his on-ice attitude. Many have feared his character could be toxic in the dressing room, however that was far from the case as Florida just won the Cup with him.
Nick Cousins played the last two seasons with the Florida Panthers, but he did only managed to score 15 points in 69 games in his most recent year. Should any teams choose to inquire about Cousin's services, it is expected that it would be more in the form of a professional tryout agreement (PTO) as opposed to an immediate contract. Cousins is hoping his new representation will help him secure a deal with a club.
Nick Cousins may require a shift in attitude and style of play if he wants to be approached by any teams. The new reality is the game is changing and players need to adjust how they play if they want to remain in the league for a long time.
