Nightmare Agent of the Week!

Usually this blog will weekly highlight a player or group of players that have done something that would make an agent cringe.  This post examines the story of an agent, that should make anybody cringe.

Frosty the AgentDavid Frost was an NHL agent that quit the profession after becoming the target in a murder-for-hire plot involving one of his clients.  That client, Mike Danton, is current in jail, and may find himself a couple of cells over from the man that he was trying to kill.

Mr. Frost is not only a former victim in a criminal case, but is now the defendant in a case which charges him with twelve counts of sexual exploitation and one count of assault [Agent targeted formurder faces sex charges in Ontario].  Deadspin recently noted that Frost had moved to Kingston, Ontario to set up a juice bar, but it seems like he was doing a little extra business on the side.  Here is a little more history about David Frost if you have never heard his name before.

Keep in mind that this is the same guy that some of his clients have considered to be their father.
