No there is a lot of info if you look for it out there. Basically there are two surgeries. One of which the team wants isn't really best for him in the long run. I'd say he may not come back to play with that one and it would likely harm his health in the future as well.So he didn’t pass his physical and doesn’t want to have the surgery? Is he done.
The newer procedure basically is a bit less proven, but when done it works better for athletes that play in sports that use similar muscles to hockey. The doctor talked at length about it on a 31 thoughts podcast. Eichel is basically being asked to sacrifice his health by Buffalo, and they're not letting him get the surgery, that IMO would probably work better for him now, and in the long run. The Sabres are kinda holding him captive depending how you look at it.
