Granted, they will probably take out insurance on a portion his contract, but given his current health, the premiums are probably going to be very high. Plus, if he goes with the less conventional treatment, it could complicate insurance matters even more. In fact I would bet on it.

They can charge an Eichel tax on tickets.
But, yes, I agree that this is a concern, and it’s why I am pretty torn about it. There should be a provision in his contract that he can get the surgery but that if it goes wrong he retires, or that he self insures prior to it.
But no trade will ever happen without a team being willing to let him have his way. If that’s Minnie, OK. Me, I’d roll the dice as well.
