Curt Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 What’s the point of this? The correct answer is “He will have a full career” because regardless of how long it lasts it will be his full career. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of my statement was to convey which answer I feel is the correct one. The point of my question was to try to understand what insight you hoped to gain from the poll and why.

klos1963 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 for the little i know about his condition, I would be concerned that he can't have a long and healthy career. I'm a big fan of Eichel, hoped that this could work out and that he stayed, I know it won't and I sort of am ok with the trade now because I worry that he won't ever be 100% of be healthy consistent enough to have the great career he was on track for.

Now that you're hopped up on your pedantic English wizardry, the only question is how will you parley this sick burn into some Grade A tail tonight at Shooter's...

My guess, conjecture implicitly is related to what kind of return would be just in a trade. Personally, I don't feel I can make any kind of rational surmise. Too much is unknown.

It's an interesting test of the predictive power of the masses as to a question that 99% of the masses have close to zero knowledge -- and even in that scenario, the predictive power of the masses has proven to be surprisingly accurate.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) I really think that this condition will force John to retire. Most likely as a result of the surgery going badly. Edited October 30, 2021 by The Ghost of Doohickie more goodly poop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Can we have a 5th - I don't give a flying f@@k - option? Cause I don't. Long, short, good, bad, whatever, wherever, I just want him gone and this book closed. Yes, he had a lot of talent, but I personally never liked the guy, always thought he was a s@@t person and was a crap leader and I think this team will be better off without him. I don't even care what we trade him for any more, I just want this done and over. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 OK, I'll bite since the rest of yous are being argumentative. 4-7 years. He'll have 3-4 instances over the next 4 seasons where he misses time due to the neck injury and after the 3rd, 4th one he won't pass a team physical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fact-free guess is actually 3-5, which crosses two choices. It think it plays out like you stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Should be noted that the trade is for 4 years of Jack Eichel, and was always only for 4 years of Jack Eichel. Both bottom 2 options cover the duration of his contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty clear by the polling options is that 'full' equates to 'long'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offered a detail I thought was interesting and reasonably relevant within the thread, on a Saturday afternoon. Is the amount of his contract he’ll finish while fulfilling the terms of your poll not at least a mildly interesting side note in this thread? Sharpen your point, indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
