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.

Eichel’s recovery time is why I think the flames should require a top ten protection on any first round picks. The player/players that they lose from the roster could make this year a gamble for the flames to make the playoffs. If the flames don’t have eichel for the season while also losing Monahan or tkachuk plus Valimaki/Dube, the team could end up light on depth/skill for the season.
