Way too much to give w/o definitive medical info available that the PT Eichel is going through will get Eichel past his neck issue and ready to play Day 1 next year...And if such very positive, verified medical info does become available, this package probably gets beat because another team will offer a roster player which presents BUF a better situation than Strome (younger, higher ceiling, and not in need of contract in a year)...just my opinion here
In reality, though- while I understand medical issues involve all sorts of privacy concerns- if the PT was really going well, I'm sure that news would be out- so I'm guessing that something beyond PT will be required- hence the basis of the disconnect between Eichel and BUF. Unless there is reason to believe NYR (and NYR doctors) would take a different position than BUF, shipping out a boatload of current and future talent- for the right to inherit the same argument versus Eichel- would be beyond reckless....no way is Drury gonna do this.
