Almost time to think about Gavin McKenna?

Ultimately is Eichel's injury and Terry's refusal to work with him to get the modern surgery what destroyed the rebuild and any chance of avoiding the current death spiral?

Do Eichel, Reinhart, and Ullmark leave if Terry relents on the surgery?  

I think yes.

Yes to the death spiral or yes they leave even if Terry relents on the surgery?

Yes they leave regardless of the surgery.

Probably not.   
I would love to see anyone associated with the Eichel fiasco sent packing - most importantly the owner 

The Sabres would have 3 of the top 25 players in the NHL on their roster (using TSNs top 100).  I find it difficult to believe the streak would still be intact with those 3 hitting their prime

It's pretty clear Ullmark wanted to leave and Eichel was irrelevant to that. I think Reinhart would have stayed.

It wouldn’t matter if the Sabres got the next 5 first OA picks. When an organization is this dysfunctional the players never develop to their ability and never succeed. Until Pegula backs off and hire legit hockey people to run and build this team no draft pick will make a difference.

Some believe that Eichel wanted out before the injury, and not long after he re-signed the extension.  Adam’s went on the spying road trip and did not like what he saw from the core.  
 

The Sabres tanking to the bare studs, acquiring Reinhart and Eichel, and still blowing the rebuild is a case study on sports management incompetence.

Food for thought on McKenna.
