Today, Vegas Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel wore a standard jersey on the ice. In his case, a return to the game is on the horizon, as the French say.
The Knights, on the other hand, have their backs against the wall. They'll have to do the following if they wish to include Eichel in their lineup:
1- Trade a player to free up more or less 4.3 million 2- Put a player worth plus or minus 4.3 million on the long-term injured list 3- Terminate a player's contract to free up more or less 4.3 million
