It would be a major gamble and quite impractical for Treliving if Monahan and Dube are playing well and producing and then he subtracts them from the roster for Eichel who will probably miss the remainder of the season, especially if his surgery is pushed back until he gets traded. Can't imagine Sutter or the players would be happy with weakening the team like that.
Ducks could probably wait it out, but I don't see very many teams being able to just sit idly by. This is probably what the Ducks are hoping, is to wait it out so that Eichel can't play this season and the other teams fall out of the running.
It's in the Sabres best interest to get this resolved sooner rather than later.
