Don't you think the Sabres likely have data in regards to the value that Eichel has brought in ticket sales and memorabilia sales, and they could extrapolate to make their argument and determine potential damages? Reputation is always tough to argue on (especially Buffalo's) but if they can determine possible lost revenues as a result that is that not a clear definition of possible damages?

Read the CBA and cite me the exact language that says he has to undergo the medical procedure advocated by the team and can’t get his own. In fact, cite the language that says the team has any control aside from money.
