Saw a video of former UFC champ Chris Weidman talking about his neck disc replacement surgery and after watching that, I think I'd be perfectly fine trading for Eichel. If an MMA fighter who trains in gruelling conditions and gets punched in the head for a living can still perform after this so called "experimental" surgery, then I like the chances that a hockey player can as well.
I wouldn't deny any reasonable package for Eichel. He really could take this team to the next level. The current top line with him centering a second line would be a helluva top 6.
