Thing is, you can't force him to get a surgery he doesn't accept. He clearly doesn't accept fusion (at this point). It's a standoff that only the Sabres can win for the next 10 months. Or perhaps the next five years.
It is in no one's best interest to drag this for 10 months, 5 years, or one more day. - TheSabresTaco
Wholeheartedly disagree. If the Sabres are being offered a dozen stale hotdog buns for Eichel then they should wait.
Eventually he'll get sick of sitting and maybe go to medical arb.
He needs the Sabres more than they need him this year. They're not trying to win and he's trying to get out

He can't force them to allow him to get the surgery he wants even moreso. If he wants his $50M he's going to have to get off the pot soon enough.

My statement and your statement are not mutually exclusive.
The Sabres should never need to trade him. They should also not want to have him here anymore.
What they're doing now is correct. Eichel hiring Brisson is a shot in the dark for a super agent to solve the cold (frank)ing war between the two parties.
