I think Sabre fans are going to be severely disappointed in the return for Eichel IF he is moved this offseason.

You're gonna be disappointed. Its been reported for months the Ducks arent trading Zegras or Drysdale.

Now if Eichel gets surgery hes missing time this season

Every day that passes he will miss more time and like it or not his value keeps dropping

I th8nk there is an extremely high chance Eichel is not returning a Drysdale caliber prospect

Drysdale or any RHD prospect doesnt fix the Sabres and theres no reason to ask for him. The Sabres have there PP QBs, they dont need more offensive dmen. There are plenty of deals that can be made without Drysdale or Zegras for that matter

I think everyone that says "I think Sabre fans are going to be severely disappointed in the return for Eichel" is going to be disappointed with the return for Eichel

His injury is a legitimate concern. Teams aren’t going to pay top dollar for damaged goods.

Well, until it's completely healed, according to medical personnel, we'll never know, now will we?

Then why hasn’t a deal been made? With every day that passes, the odds of him making it back grow slimmer. THAT’S A BIG DEAL

A deal hasnt been made, so it must be his injury, couldnt be Adams asking for a rediculous return or Pegula forcing Adams to not make this another ROR trade. Couldnt be any other innumerable variables, it can only be one. Simpleton mindset

It IS multiple variables and anyone who doesn’t think so is dumber than Peter Chiarelli. The injury, however, is of legitimate concern because he might not make it back for the beginning of the season. And for your information, it doesn’t make someone a simpleton if they disagree with you.

It just makes you look dumb.

Since when is a potentially career ending neck injury not a big deal, since when is an injury that now will force him to miss time for this season not a big deal?

You are not a doctor that has access to any of his records, you do not know the severity of the injury.nobody that posts to the forums here knows the severity.

It can be said however that he is injured. And the injury the public knows he has could be life altering outside of hockey let alone the impact it could have on his playing career. And the surgery that he is insistent on is a risky one.

The longer Adams waits the less leverage he has and the less value Eichel has because the team trading for him will be getting a player that could miss a large part of next season. And the closer Eichels NMC gets to kicking in the more power he gains in the situation

Absolutely agree. Any trade made now would likely have cap retention.

Him not making the beginning of the season wasnt an issue till this week, doesnt mean anything for the last 4 month

At no point has anyone said it was career threatening. In fact, the issue is the Sabres are refusing to let Eichel get a routine surgery. This is exactly what im talking about. You all ramp up your rhetoric, creating your own feedback loop blowing this way out of proportion

Seems like were going to have to agree to disagree for now, there isnt much point in both of us getting more entrenched in our stances. I respect your opinion and viewpoints and neither of us will know whos right until the situation is resolved.

Realistically our opinions on the severity of the injury means very little, I could be completely wrong and If I am that's fine.

I am by no means a medical professional and have gathered my opinion based on what I have read on the situation, not based on actually knowing the severity. At the end of the day only Eichel's camp and the Sabres know how serious it is at the moment.
