Option 2:

To this point in his career, Marek Carda has been working primarily with his mother as acting agent. In the SMJHL, contracts are relatively standard, and the same applies to entry level deals in the SHL. Coming from an entrepreneurial family, Carda has grown up around the family business, a brewery, in which his father is the mastermind behind the beer while his mother runs business operations. With a sharp tactical and financial mind, Mrs. Carda was the natural choice to help get Marek’s career off the ground. While the workload so far has been light, with Marek just wrapping up his third season with the Detroit Falcons, things may be on the verge of becoming more complicated. First there is the SMJHL expansion draft to deal with. While Carda might be protected, it depends on the priorities of the team with a maximum of one season remaining in his J career. If he goes unprotected, his experience could bolster the legitimacy of any expansion team’s roster. Beyond that, Carda will be graduating to the SHL soon, where he is currently property of the Philadelphia Forge. Currently, this team has a full roster of talent, with many other promising prospects in the system who will be vying for what few openings may come about. With this many unknowns over the next season or two, it seems that Mama Carda is about to take on a bit more responsibility in her role should Marek choose to keep it in the family!
