This is what expert Darren Dreger had to say about this whole Eichel situation:
�'Well, it's tough to pinpoint a timeline but we do know there is ongoing discussions with Jack Eichel's agent Pat Brisson and Kevyn Adams, the general manager of the Buffalo Sabres. They're on good terms, they have an excellent relationship. We also know that Jack Eichel will start the regular season on LTIR. Now, he saw a team of specialists over the course of the off-season. Some encouraged the artificial disc replacement surgery, however the Buffalo Sabres remain adamant that the fusion surgery is the best option. It's possible that Eichel gets traded and has the disc replacement surgery under the blessing of a new club, but there's no guarantee and it doesn't seem like anything is real close on that front.»
As Lyle Richardson reported what Dreger said on Insider Trading on TSN, he believes that the team should allow him to undergo the disc replacement surgery he favors «will cost his the entire season.»
