Eichels situation should of been taken care of. Not waiting till the season is over. The guy is your #1. Its not like its franking Girgensons. If his nose is bleeding you should be holding the tissue in for him amd jerking him off with the other. Just what you do for your best player. - DirtyDan
I agree, but doesn't mean that Surgery was the first option. It might be know that therapy isn't working. Again the first phase in his therapy was agreed upon, know it looks like the next phase needs to occur.
No, because winning the cup is kind of a crapshoot. You have to be good, yeah, but there's a hundred other things that have to line up just right for you or just wrong for somebody else in order to do it.
I agree there are leadership issues though. He was definitely handed too much too early. - BINGO!
Winning the cup is a crap shoot
Making the playoffs is 50-50

Okay making the playoffs isn't 50/50.
You have far more control over the results in the regular season than you do the playoffs. This year a bit less so since it's so strange, but a full 82 games season? Luck has less to do with it.
They really botched this (shocking). Can't wait 48 hours to have them speak, while throwing these kids out there to answer Eichel questions. - Lunaion
I think an underrated part of the stupidity is that Eichel was an hour late for his call because he was talking to Adams. Clearly he had some things to say
Taco just looking at it differently. Do I like stuff I am hearing of course not, but it's nothing with all the stuff I have had done the last 3yrs surgery wise that PT was the first phase in his situation and it's not something you do a couple sessions and say this isn't working time for surgery. Want to see what Adams has to say. We all have the right to b!tch, it's not like this organization doesn't deserve it. But really not gonna change my life, might not like what's happening. But they will still be my favorite hockey team, might not spend money to go to any games this year but I will still watch them on TV.

A thought. If he had his mind set on leaving, would the convo have been quick and to the point? Maybe given it’s duration, he wanted to express himself with an angle of caring and wanting to be part of the solution long term- a dialogue to be a part of the solution?
And maybe the end result was such that he made the comments he did and his body language after feeling the poop show will continue with no plan or vision in sight.
