    He's at his prime age and talent wise, but he's also demanding a never before performed on a professional athlete, not recommended by the team doctors neck surgery. That adds serious risk. Personally I think it's likely he returns to form, but the team trading for him has to bake the risk that he never plays again into the trade price

    CBJ and Blackhawks entering the chat with LAK, NYR, and there was another one that slips my mind that have cooled off on the trade talks.

    Prolly just because they've sent their best offers and the Sabres are just taking calls before they accept anything,

    true, and all the more reason why the return will likely be very underwhelming for the Sabres.

    It is never a good situation when everyone knows a player wants out. You don't get top value that way, even for a player like Eichel. I hope for the Sabres that they do get a good return, but I really doubt it.

    Maybe it is the Jack Quinn pick still ringing in my ears, but I can't help but feel that the single best named young piece that Buffalo gets back from an Eichel deal isn't going to be one that moves any needles. It'll be a Kravstov or a Kale Clague and some other stuff. At least when Stone was dealt, Erik Brannstrom felt like an exciting fantasy prospect was changing hands. I don't think we'll have that same feeling, even with Eichel's high-end value. Buffalo will either crumble or say that they need some Douglas Murray types for toughness and getting more pylons into the lineup.

    My gut has been saying that Eichel ends up in Las Vegas. I'm sticking with it.

    What does that trade look like? Great question. Glass/Hague/Tuch/pick for Eichel... something like that? Maybe some money shifts around as well.

    Buffalo reporter (Jeremy White) has said it's days not weeks before Eichel is moved, likely for planning around the expansion draft and NHL draft.

    This is nuts. He's damaged goods in several ways. They'd be much better off - and tell him this - letting him have the surgery and come back 100% and light it up. Then trade him for much closer to what he is really worth. This seems like more atrocious asset management in Buffalo.

    Something that was brought up might be price of the surgery and what the recovery could reduce Eichel to lowering his post-surgery trade value even more.

    I think only UFC fighters have had the surgery (in regards to professional athletes) and they don't end up the same after. So they want to keep him, but to rehab vs surgery and he doesn't want that. Except the player doesn't really have the choice in this regards since you're an asset to the team, and they get to do what they want when push comes to shove. So Eichel wants out to get the surgery.

    The worst part of all this is the longer this goes, the less time Eichel has to rehab post-surgery to his new team. But I don't know the recovery timeline is for that.

    So do they have to trade him to a team that will then let him have the surgery? If he goes somewhere and that team's doctors don't think he should have it either we are right back where we started. How much of his medical info has been given to possible trade partners? I'd have to guess all of it?

    I can't imagine any team would go far in trade talks unless a team physician were able to evaluate Eichel or at the very least his records.

    Acquiring teams would need to know if he actually wants surgery, or just doesn't trust the Sabres medical staff as they got the original injury wrong to begin with. Maybe he just doesn't want to deal with their medical staff.

    It's a cloud the fanbase doesn't know yet.

    Does it even have to be Sabres medical staff to do the operation? Can't just go to a specialist that has done this procedure numerous times?
