Highly unlikely this has any merit.

Yeah. The reason why this has been drawn out this long is due to the differning opinions on what surgery he is to get. It isn't likely that either side will budge.
Did Eichel's new agent convince the Sabres to concede to Eichel's wishes? If Buffalo was concerned about Eichel getting that surgery then they're not going to suddenly let him. Even though he is going to be traded no matter what the outcome, they aren't going to risk letting him get a surgery that will damage his trade value. Once he gets the surgery, whichever one he gets, any Eichel suitors will want to wait to see how he plays first before determining how much they're going to give up to acquire him.
Eichel isn't likely to give in either. Unless he felt that he was getting bad advice from his last agent to get the alternative surgery, but that doesn't make sense to me either.
I don't think a surgery is happening in the near future.
