If Eichel just goes and gets his surgery without the Sabres permission, then what can the Sabres do? It it’s a breach of contract they can void the contract, which I don’t think Eichel would mind because then he’s free to sign wherever.

Maybe the Sabres can toll/pause his contract if he breaches it. In that case then yeah, not as great of an option.

Still though, if he would have just went and yolo’d and got his surgery 8 months ago he’d be playing again already, for Buffalo or someone else.
