This whole thing doesnt sound good. I know a bit about this subject unfortunately.And if a person really wants spinal surgery then they are really having problems.
 
	There are new technologies out there.But to get surgery in that part of the body and expect to play hockey again at a high level....I wouldnt risk it -for a high price anyway--if I were another teams GM.
 
	Of course  it goes without saying it is a risk to Mr Eichel as well
