Knights Jack Eichel Surgery And Comeback Thread

Since we had so much interest in acquiring Jack Eichel why not another thread to watch his comeback.

On TSN Insider Trading tonight they said that Eichel was getting his surgery this Friday (tomorrow) and that it will only be about 3-4 hour procedure and that Jack will actually walk out of the operating room, basically day surgery if I understood that correctly.

They said he could be back playing in about 4 months or so which is kind of surprising to me. We'll have to wait and see how his recovery will go and then game action.

No more threads about players who are not Calgary Flames please. ENG and maybe Ovie count can stay.

Are you not interested how it will all play out after all the discussion we had on here? I was in the don't trade for Eichel opinion so we'll see how it all plays out. Plus we'll see him lots as he's in our division.

Nope, not really. I don’t follow players who are traded away, not even Gio, despite the name. I don’t care about Kadri, ROR, Stone or any other “almost” Flames.

This thread is like finding out your wife is cheating on you and that you were actually adopted...and that your wife is wife is actually your cousin.

Sad and confusing, but mostly sad.

Except some people think Jack Eichel is a star player so that's another reason to see how it all unwinds. Maybe the Flames will end up looking good for not trading for him.

The reality is that we don't know how close the Flames were. Folks like Friedman seem to suggest it wasn't really close.
But it's still an interesting storyline. As a Flames fan I was disappointed they didn't land him. As a hockey fan I hope his neck surgery goes well and he can return to being the player he is. And I'll certainly be rooting for him and Vegas over McDerp and the Derps up north.

There’s really nothing interesting to hear about or discuss until late February / March when he’s supposed to come back.

Not overly concerned with a Vegas player no. I’m sure there will be tweets when he’s close to returning in three to four months.

Once it was announced that the Flames didn't get Eichel, I lost all interest about him. Unless the operation couldn't fix his injury and Eichel can't pick up a hockey stick again (I don't actually wish that on him), maybe I will then be interested to know about it and laugh at Vegas...

Can we start a thread for Taylor Hall, Mark Stone, and every other significant player we were reportedly close to acquiring?

I don't get the obsession with studying threads for ex-players/rumored trade chips.

Thing is with this one people can pound their chest but nobody knows and it will be years before we can make a call if it would have been good or bad

5x10M is a lot of money, guy better be a player for them. He could be a top player in the league and he could be Lindros in TO

I'm not particularly interested in this thread, but the amount of people that are against it is a bit of a surprise. It's just another topic to discuss, if you want, or not.

No need to be aggravated by it.

Is there a way to stream the surgery? Or at least get live updates?

#### me.

I want to not think about Jack Eichel ever again for the rest of my goddamn life.

As a hockey fan I know that can't happen, but it'd be nice not to have to think about him until he's back and curb stomping he Flames multiple times per season now that he's on a division rival team.

It seems there is only one possible course of action for many. You come into the thread with very clear and descriptive title in the subject and tell everyone how you don't want to talk about it.

There's obviously not going to be much news on that topic for a while unless God forbid the surgery is a disaster. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

But it will be interesting to reflect back on. As Jiri states, some like Friedman have reported the Flames weren't that close. But they were definitely interested. And if they weren't close, it is by choice really because while the Sabres may have coveted certain players from Vegas, it's not like that offer was unbeatable. You could have offered more if you wanted him bad enough. To be seen if that would have been the right call.
