If Eichel gets the surgery he wants, and it's successful, he'd be fit for the season opener, That's why this is so stupid.

And if it isn't???

If it's the surgery the Sabres want, it's 3 months, plus getting back into shape, so you're looking at about Christmas

Both him and the Sabres are screwed...lol

I'm seriously asking. Eichel has HIS surgery and it's unsuccessful, what happens?? Can the other surgery then work?? Is it worse??

According to his doctor, if the disk replacement surgery doesn't work then they can do an disk fusion surgery (which is what the Sabres want).

The surgery the sabres want is the recovery surgery if the one Eichel wants is unsuccessful.

This is the guy Eichel consulted in Denver talking about the two operations. I highly recommend listening to it.

The surgery has a 90% success rate

Which one?? Is that hockey players?? And the other 10%???

Actually some of the 10% is from faulty equipment from what i read. In the late 90s early 00s their was a brand that got recalled because it failed almost every time, but that was decades ago
