I guess we’ll never know what offers he received, when he gave clearance to medical records, and when he let other GMs know about his budget allowances. It certainly seems to have dragged on but I can’t say it’s been a colossal disaster considering he’s needed to do this since maybe July? To some degree I blame Eichel for not filing a grievance to get the NHL to opine.
