Damian Liliard was rumored considering sitting out on his current team next season to force a trade. He publicly went out and said people are dumb, athletes don't usually think like that- and also who in their right mind would risk as much money as he would to do so?
This same situation applies to Eichel. We're talking 10s of millions. Eichel isn't going to hold out playing unless the situation is health related and the team isnt helping him or jerking him around.

I think our Associate Coach did it! Kirk Muller was traded to the Islanders and refused to report.
