Defensemen, Charlie McAvoy and John Carlson, are pushing a lawsuit against a marketing agency for misuse of their likeness.

The marketing company is called IF Management. Both players entered an employment agreement with the company in October, 2022. The agreement was later terminated in October, 2023 for no apparent reason.
