Thread: Eichel Situation Poll
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Eichel literally spoke to the media yesterday about how he wanted to do one thing but the team didn’t allow him to. So I’m not sure if you’re just completely ignoring that, or if you just don’t care, but when Eichel is literally saying these things I’m going to trust what he’s saying. He was literally asked “if you want to go and get a surgery or a treatment, why don’t you just go do it?” To which he said something along the lines of “it’s not that simple, you can’t just go and do that” to which he was asked “is that because you’re under contract and they won’t let you?” To which he said something like you nailed it.

Go watch his interview</div></div>

I have watched his interview many times.

Yes, a player cannot go out and get a surgery or a treatment for the sake of getting it. I doubt Eichel is seeking elective procedures and treatments to pimp his body. If a serious injury such as a disc in the neck needs to be treated, it has to be done the best way for the patient. No doubt team and personal physicians are involved in the process.
