News: Jack Eichel has changed agents

[member 334057]

While personal anecdotes are nice, Kris Letang had the ACDF procedure a few years ago on his neck and it hasn't hurt his career, so I think it's reasonable to believe that the surgeon/team performing the hypothetical ACDF procedure on Eichel will be geared more towards treating professional athletes than surgeons who treat everyday people or the elderly

Kind of surprised more people haven't brought up Letangs success. Didn't Mario Lemieux have some sort of fusion surgery back in the 90's also?

Sounds like that’s around the same date that Eichel sent that emoji tweet???

That cryptic emoji tweet.

Gotta have the word "cryptic" in there for dramatic effect.

 

[Jim Bob]

Going to see Hab’s doctors?

 

[The Blunder Years]

Wouldn’t read much into a Montreal flight. There’s a lot there other than the Habs

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Kotkaniemi + Guhle + 1st + 2nd + 3rd for Eichel.
Projected 3C/2C, projected 2nd pair Top4 Dman, a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Eichel.

Eichel doesn't want the spinal fusion.

Eichel and his parents are running the show.

Kevyn Adams disagrees. And he has the CBA on his side. That’s why the meeting last week didn’t change things.

Is it 3 way trade with Canes?

Even if the habs match the KK offersheet ( we wont ) Kotkaniemi cannot be traded for 1 year

How about a package of picks (3 firsts including the Carolina one) and Drouin. He’s to help the Habs stay cap compliant.

Projected 3C/2C, projected 2nd pair Top4 Dman, a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Eichel.

That's not even close to enough for Eichel. Not to mention, it couldn't be completed for atleast a year IF Montréal even decides to match.

Regardless, Kotkaniemi as it stands today is negative value at 6.1/per

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

The Sabres do not want Kotkaniemi period, not for free and certainly not for Eichel. At 6.1 mil he has near worthless value.

 

[Team Cozens]

“Off ice only”, yet he’s bringing his equipment and sticks. Plus he was just skating in Boston with NHL players. Friedman still trying to cover for this charade.

kK can’t be traded whrn given an OS for one calendar year from signing or matching…whichever is later.

 

[Breakers]

Dumbest tweet I have ever seen

derp…. I wonder why eichel is going to montreal with his gear.

guy literally knows the answer to his own question and waits just long enough to post the reply.

My guess is that he will skate by himself and do some general drills and not play in the games.

I was thinking of something like this before the offersheet but right now it doesn’t work.

 

[Team Cozens]

Do you actually believe he will have a surgery once traded? I don’t for a minute. He will show up at a camp, say he feels good enough to try.... and then potentially next off season when there is a 4/5 months recovery time.

I have no idea.

Given how hard he has been pushing for the surgery, I expect that he will.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

I would say 90% chance. Wait for it....

You realize even if Anaheim got Eichel for free and he was 100% healthy they would still probably be a bottom 10 team in the league right? Probably wouldn't even make the playoffs for 3 years. So by then you are down to 2 years left with Eichel and he is turning 28.

No factor in the important picks and prospects Anaheim would have to trade to get him and I could see the Ducks never once making the playoffs while he's there

I think most people do, you are an exception in this department.

 

[Scintillating10]

Bringing his sticks? I thought he was injured?

He's attending a skills development program. A lot of what they do is off the ice ie shot grading, posture analysis, fancy bio metrics stuff, etc

Yes! That’s why I want the Ducks 1st round pick in 2022.
