The more time has gone by and the more I’ve had time to consider the hockey side (underwhelming trade return) and medical side (potentially significant pathology), the more I lean that spine surgeons around the league had some consensus that Eichel likely does not have a long injury-free career ahead of him.
There are 31 teams that could have used the guy, and I’d be surprised if surgeons from the vast majority of those teams didn’t weigh in.
Happy to discuss further from the medical (cervical spine) side, that is if anyone is interested…
