    Bloody hell this is a brutal injury and timing. Feel bad for Eichel who was starting to tear it up.

    In my 1-year league I'm in 7 of 12 (8 make playoffs) and have 4 regular season matchups left, no IR. I figure I will hold Eichel for this week and if I drop in the rankings have to cut him for a healthy skater. Given that the season only has 7 weeks left and the Sabres are so far down the rankings what the odds Eichel actually plays again this year?
    6 weeks would have him back March 26th, season ends April 7th.

    Seems like a season ending injury right?

    possible he does not play...but if its 4 weeks and here covers he could play as playoffs start in most fantasy leagues. He did heal faster than expected with first injury if i remember right....

    Cut bait, don't think the Sabres are going to risk him. Might as well get someone who will contribute.

    I'd also cut bait. While Eichel is staking, there's still no timeline for his return. With the Sabres in a lottery race, is there really much incentive to bring him back? I mean, this is the same time that shamelessly tanked to get Eichel in the first place....
