Am curious as to wtf is going regarding the player at this point, both from a surgery perspective (I've heard regardless of which procedures ultimately get done, he needs surgery before playing again) and from a trade perspective (agent seems pretty clear, that a trade out of Buffalo is the only desired outcome).

I think the risk is in the event he does get the surgery and things don't go well then he is completely untradeable or value is significantly reduced. That scenario my be unlikely, but there is only one Eichel and they have his rights. If he is traded before then it is completely on the team that acquires him and they would have gotten their perceived value for him.
