128: Inside the Mind of a Super Agent: Judd Moldaver Joins 100% Hockey.

Judd Moldaver, one of hockey’s most prominent player agents, joins John Shannon and Daren Millard on 100% Hockeyto pull back the curtain on life as a “super agent.” Representing stars like Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews, Moldaver shares how he supports clients through every step of their careers — from contract negotiations and career management to navigating the pressures that come with being among the NHL’s elite.

He explains the approach behind this summer’s McDavid contract, including the patience it required and the importance of balancing personal value with team success. Moldaver dismisses the idea that one deal influences another, saying each negotiation is unique and rooted in trust. The conversation also touches on the new CBA, from signing bonuses to the 7–8 rule, and how those changes impact both players and teams. Judd closes with reflections on the business of hockey, the relationships that make it work, and the fine line between taking less to win — or more to try to.
