We complain about KA being inexperienced yet us fans don't have the stomach for a tough negotiation.

So you know for a fact that by not allowing him to get his preferred surgery, and instead letting him remain injured Sabres property, KA is somehow going to increase his trade value?

Well, no one can know for sure, but I think it is pretty reasonable to conclude that waiting for teams like Vegas, Montreal, etc to feel pressure will result in better offers than whatever has been offered to date.  There also doesn’t seem to be much if any downside to waiting.

Definitely comes a point where there’s a downside to waiting. A situation where the asset merely expires isn’t good asset management in the slightest. There’s certainly value in acquiring an asset sooner rather than later. A 2023 1st is worth more than a 2024 first, for example 

There is no downside to waiting, provided the return is maximized to the point of making the wait worth it 

If we were to get no return, a lesser return, or an equal return after waiting, all 3 of those scenarios would represent a downside to waiting

I agree with @PromoTheRobot.  I remember people here having torches and pitchforks ready if GMKA had traded Eichel for returns the vast majority of posters today would find acceptable.  But by not caving, he can't increase Eichel's value.

GMKA must juggle several factors, some of which work against each other.  He can't allow Eichel to get the ADR surgery because the Pegulas would be legally on the hook for Eichel's health for the rest of his life -- even after trading him.  Thus, ADR is not on the table barring something negative happening, whence Eichel's value cannot be increased that way.  Hence, we are at the current impasse.

Jack should get going on the grievance. Until then, how can anyone have any sympathy for him during this impasse? The CBA is clear in what should be done in such a situation.

Anyone who has “reported” anything on this in the last 24 hours, should have their Twitter account suspended.  Enough with the BS.  

Suspend all Twitter.  Shut it down.

So basically these 'insiders' view it this way:  

-If a phone call or converstation was had in the last 5 minutes or is currently going on, things are 'heating up'

-If it has been more than 5 mintues since Adams spoke the name "Eichel" to another team, things have cooled.

Imagine how disgusting that food must taste by now? 
 

In reality, I bet you it hasn’t twisted and turned as much as they claim. Probably has never twisted either.
