Not saying they’d be lining up to do it. I’m saying there will be players that step up to do it for the chance to keep the team together. The alternative is a valuable player being lost from the roster permanently due to a trade - diminishing the overall team and its chance at a cup this year.
I would imagine management will ask their physiotherapists and doctors if any of their players have been pushing through any injuries/discomfort - even the slightest ones. Then they’ll approach those players asking them to rest up and heal up for the good of the team and for themselves so they’re 100% for playoffs. Nobody gets traded. You get your full salary. You’re back for playoffs or even before if someone else has an injury issue. Eichel gets to play too. The team is then primed for a deep run without having to sacrifice any more players to acquire eichel.
