This shady new hire for the Oilers may be cause for an investigation

The Wasserman Hockey Agency was founded in 2018 and before joining the Oilers, Jeff Jackson was their executive vice president. During his time with the agency he also represented players like Alex Debrincat, Aaron Ekblad, Quinton Byfield and more importantly Connor McDavid. Earlier today Connor announced that he will be staying with Wasserman but will now be represented by a different agent. Surprisingly this isn't the only concerning Connor connection. Jeff also represented Connor Brown, who signed on July 1st to a one year, bonus-heavy contract in Edmonton.

Respected journalist Andrew Berkshire is questioning why there has been no investigation from the NHLPA, especially considering their recent investigation into Kyle Dubas.

Back in May the NHLPA said they were going to investigate Kyle Dubas after they learned he is a client of the Wasserman agency. This normally wouldn't be cause for investigation but in this case it was because the Wasserman agency also represents Auston Matthews. There were concerns there may be a conflict of interest there. As of now the NHLPA has said nothing about the hiring of Jeff Jackson. It's hard to say whether or not there's something shady going on but there should probably at least be a review.
