I am having a hard time seeing why he Sabres are holding on for so long where they have seemingly cost Eichel a big chunk of the upcoming season. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the Sabres are doing this to try and increase the value of the 22 1st they will receive from any team making the deal.
From all the reports the big holdup is the Sabres treating Eichel like a 100pt healthy player and the rest of the league treating him as a guy who has a serious neck injury. One solution is to put a ton of conditions of the picks going to the Sabres to protect against injury issues etc.
This feels like it will be resolved on the eve of training camp
