According to multiple NHL certified agents, the issue appears to be clear-cut. It is an established practice that agents do not represent club officers or employees. They are calling for an investigation by the NHLPA to determine the facts.
This situation could result in lawsuits, terminations, and legal actions if Dubas is found guilty. However, it's important to consider Dubas' defense. His agent, Chris Armstrong, works in a separate department from Matthews' agent, and their association is based on a long-standing friendship. While it's unlikely that any violations occurred, we cannot dismiss the possibility entirely.
The NHLPA will conduct a thorough investigation to determine if Dubas had ulterior motives in his dealings with Matthews in Toronto. It is crucial to allow the investigation to proceed and see if Dubas can build a strong case for his innocence.
