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.
Yeah Buffalo's doctor must be from the stone-age, disc replacement has a 90% success rate, faster recovery and with full mobility with no known need for future operations, cervical fusion has a 90% success rate with loss of mobility and almost a 100% need for future operations.

I have a feeling this is all about LTIR insurance
