These replacement discs unusually rely on the bone in the spine to grow into the device to keep it in place and promote stability. This takes time. Something to consider.
Honestly, considering the pieces being discussed here (Dube/Valimaki/Monahan), it's a risk worth taking. My only holdup would be protection on any 2022 or 2023 firsts due to Bedard/Wright/Michkov. Protect those picks from those three players, and I don't care if this gamble fails. LTIRetirement for Eichel, and you rebuild. At least you went down swinging. That's what sports is about. Whether it was the 2019 Bluejackets or the 2014 Kings, they went for it.
