likely scenarios (maybe no4 isn't so likely)
1. buffalo doesnt let him get the surgery, he doesnt play, trade value continues to decrease
2. buffalo lets him get the surgery, healthy and rehab increases his value and buffalo likely gets its asking price
3. eichel continues to ask for trade, buffalo stands pat, scenario 1 plays out
4. eichel retires, gives up his contract, gets surgery, comes out of retirement, signs to a new team to a massive deal
5. They end up trading Eichel for a huge haul and the situation ends up like the Duchene trade where everyone was yelling they waited too long for a deal and when it happens we're all shocked at the overpayment for the player
BTW I'm like 70% sure your situation no4 can't happen as Buffalo would own him still if he tries to come out of retirement. But I'm not really sure how it happens.
