Not to question Eichel's intelligence, but I doubt it was him who found he needed this surgery.
He likely went to a specialist, and said you can get this surgery. But the way the NHL works is if the team doesn't want you to get that surgery you aren't allowed or you're at risk at voiding your contract. Team gets the final call on what procedures you get.

Rangers apparently have asked for Eichels medical records.
Buffalo is looking for the equivalent of 4 1st round pick in value.

The fear of playing Eichel if you trade him in the East has to be large. NYR have to have the pieces to have the best offer.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Man - I just can't get past the fact that this is so stupid by Buffalo. With Eichel's medical issues there is absolutely no way they get what they are looking for. If any GM gives up the equivalent of 4 first rounders for a plyer we don't even know can play again is insane. They should be fired on the spot. So Buffalo in no way is going to get what they want. If they do ok and Eichel ends up never being effective again well then they win. But the most likely outcome is they trade a player who, right now, is serious damaged goods for not nearly enough and he ends making them look like complete chumps. Keep him, get him healthy, then see where things go. To do otherwise at this point is doubling down on crap asset management.

what team can trade for him and allow him to have the surgery / spend season on LTIR while still quietly chipping away at their progress to becoming a contender with pieces not traded to BUF
I agree. I don't know why any team gives up so many players and prospects when you don't definitively know about his health. Plus, you are paying him 10 million per season and there are leadership and maturity questions about him. I could see giving up a top 10 pick, A-level prospect, and another quality piece but I am not giving up more than that.

The problem is keeping him when he and others obviously want out. Now you are in a situation where your openly disgruntled captain mails in the season, either through excess time spend in the trainer's room or through lackluster on-ice play, to try and force a trade. Now you don't have the benefit of offseason flexibility and that $10MM a year cap hit further drives down the return. I totally get what you're saying, but there are worse situations BUF management can be in and, frankly, I don't see how they bring him back in line and rebuild his value if he decides to go that route.
I find it hard to believe any professional player would be that petulant.
