The medical details or medical records issue is being overblown.

The issue has been the reluctance of the Sabres to absolve 100% responsibility if the surgery doesn’t go well.

It’s why the ball is moving now, the Sabres, Brisson and the NHL are working to come to a compromise. It’s called an ADR- Alternative Dispute Resolution

Arbitration is a form of ADR as well, just saying.

Settling disputes outside of the legal system is not anything new, in fact it should be expected

Oh maybe they know the standoff and want to see if what Eichel wants is justifiable.

I count 4 forwards (Eakin, Hayden, Caggiula, Jonsson-Fjallby) of the 14 currently on CapFriendly, not including Ruotsalainen, that could be waived and nobody would care.

Plenty of space for the players suggested in that trade.
- kingcong39

I've already made that argument.

Using my own proposal, the financials and rostering work completely. Including the demotion of Eakin.

Then what are you trying to say with the bold below?

Sabres now have 25 players on their roster, 26 once Tuch is ready. You need more trades with this proposal.

And it seems to be backfiring becuase now Adams is handing out teh information freely.
- ImThatGuy

'taint nobody's bidness

The same 'more' that allowed the Sabres to come to the decision that they demand fusion while Eichel demands replacement?

That detail seems incredibly important and vital to a team trading for Eichel.
- kingcong39

as well it should....you want incredibly important information then make me a serious offer...if not, sorry bub

So FYI, the Sabres and other negotiating teams are working with the NHL and NHLPA on having a plan to share responsibility if the surgery goes wrong and Eichel is unable to play again.

The issue is deeper than compensation it also has to do with insurance

Take it as you will.

Sorry forgot that was a response to Pach.

Demoting players brings you even lower below the floor with Pachs proposal. Not enough money, too many players.

Im sorry but this is BS.

Eichels camp literally said they would do anything to facilitate a trade.

They are now going on their own to do their own medicals so they can share them.
- ImThatGuy

Right and that included coming about his medical situation, which was a closed file up to that point and not being discussed openly. There's a good chance this was released by Eichel's request if not at least his approval.

contract insurance to be specific

finding a cap-dump doesn't seem to be all that difficult these days

“With their easy remaining schedule, the Buffalo Bills earn the No. 1 AFC seed in over 50% of our simulations *if* they can beat the Chiefs on Sunday night.

If the Chiefs win, the Ravens become the favorite for the No. 1 seed at 27% with Bills at 20% and Chiefs at 19%.”

Smith and McNabb 😉

if Jack, Jack's camp and Adams is fine giving out Eichel's medical information

who cares?


it's all to get him out of here

I remember a couple of years back Buffalo39 mentioned a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes with Carey Price….

He took a lot of flack for it, I wonder if the straw finally broke the camels back here

Nah this sounds like a pill or alcohol addiction.

39 was accusing the dude of basically being a pedo

Unless my memory is terrible, he said Price hooked up with a 15/16 year old or something nuts

I mean I like your offer better, but I think McCrimmon hangs the (frank) up on you. I took reasonableness into consideration as well.
- TheSabresTaco

Probably.

Now do the same on your from the Sabres side.
Barf as well.

Personally, I couldn't care less who's doing what behind the scenes. I care about the return the Sabres get - that's it.

Don't care about Eichel's medical, that Brisson is helping brokering a deal, or the optics of any of it.

Get me the best return so we can move on as an organization.

Sounds like a plan right there.
