Is four months that long in the big scheme of things? That team is not competing regardless and I can think of other players that have been “on the block” for longer. Didn’t Sakic take 18 months to get what he wanted for Duchene?
I’m not trying to defend the Sabres competence here but from their perspective the Draft is the next big deadline. Now I get his injury complicates things, but that’s more for the acquiring team. At least by not playing nothing is getting worse.
For sure they may well not get what they want but IDK if four months is enough time to conclude they never will and need to lower their price. Is Eichel less valuable next off season?
