If Buffalo voids it, doesn't that make Eichel a UFA? Does Eichel get a similar contract in the open market? He's got 5 years left at $10 million per. Could he get that on the open market as a UFA if Buffalo voids the contract?
It would be a be a big F you to Buffalo, they'd lose a lot of assets but they also clear $10 million in cap hit for a long time.

I doubt he'd walk away from $50 million because I really don't think he'd get that much on the open market right now. Teams would want to see him fully recovered before committing that kind of money.
