If he passes his physical post-ADR they'll let him play a few games to show he's healthy, then scratch him until a trade happens. One thing is for sure... during the next round of CBA negotiations, this conundrum will be addressed in some manner. If I'm the player I would give it at least a year to heal on it's own before opting for potentially career ending surgery. I suspect that's where we end up.

disagree. If the ADR is a success and he passes a physical, I believe they would clear him to play. That said, they would healthy scratch until a trade can be worked out.

It's quite simple, if he passes a physical (post ADR) and team doctors clear him to play, then the risk shifts back to the Sabres.

IMO the longer this drags on the more likely it is that Jack decides on his own to get the ADR surgery, taking on the risk himself. BUF could void his contract, but if the procedure is successful they have no reason to. Jack is putting the remainder of his contract at risk, but if he truly believes in ADR I think he'd be willing to take on that risk.

Wrong. UPL is currently better than Portillo.

I predict he will struggle in the AHL this season. He's big, but his reaction time isn't NHL level and he just isn't athletic enough to make up for it.

Looks like an AHL scrimmage, gonna be a long season boys.

Gee thanks for reminding me he's still on the team, smh.

It's nothing like a divorce. Eichel is under contract. He can't get an annulment or file for divorce. His fate rest entirely in the hands of KA. He agreed to that when he signed his deal. Is it tiring? Perhaps. However, that doesn't mean you just pull the plug and trade him for nothing just to end the saga. The wise move is to wait it out.

Because he would've lost.

Fair deal for both sides.

My saurce says a deal will be done within the next 24 hours.

KA is showing some backbone here and it requires patience on our part. The worst thing he could do is panic sell, which is what we've seen from recent Sabres GMs. Holding the asset until you receive fair market value is the correct play... albeit something we're simply not used to as Sabres fans, so we get posts like this, smh.

Or Twin Fair or Two Guys or Gold Circle or Hills

ugh, Duff and Biron?! Really? They should rename it "The Pacifiers"

I'll be shocked if the Sabres approve ADR surgery.

Couple thoughts, the team's most interested in John are most certainly on his allowed list... ANA, LAK, VGK, NYR. So the NMC really doesn't impact his trade value IMO. His career is at a crossroads... He can choose the red pill or the blue pill.

He fired his agent to save face.

Haven't noticed Quinn. Murray, Peterka and Routsalainen look decent. Samuelsson too on the back-end. UPL hmm, he's been good, but doesn't look NHL ready yet IMO.
