I didn't want to go dig back for a thread.
this is not directly applicable to any existing Eichel to a specific team thread.
I just saw this this am via Yardbarker:
Sabres forward Jack Eichel stripped of captaincy | Yardbarker
Stripping of captaincy is no big whoop --- a small one maybe, but certainly not a big one.
However, the ongoing impasse over refusal to yield to player on his choice of surgery means we remain status quo for the foreseeable future.
I am loathe to even create this thread as anticipation is Sabes will still ask for the moon as if Eich were fully healthy and productive on all cylinders, and feeling the need to push back b'c that is factually not the case, all offers will continue to remain low.
However, as a champion of free speech, I thought let's give this a shot.
This thread is created to = a forum for discussion, including value, including how that is impacted by the facts as stated above and as they may change subject to update.
Again, I have no interest in Eichel for NYR b'c upside of reward would have to reflect risk, and that would mean no bluest blue chips to be surrendered [as NY does not have a surplus beyond internal needs] and therefore we are looking at a core of a 1st + other conditional 1sts based on his availability and performance.
I expect ultimately Sabes will smarten up, they will cave on JE choice of surgery, we will wait and see how that goes, and after a period of assessment, which we all hope for player's sake is positive, we can then see upgraded offers for Eich based on his factually improved condition. Not before.
