“Whenever he’s ready, he’s ready, and we’ll get him in there.” Golden Knights president George McPhee joined RealKyper and jtbourne on FAN590 to give an update on Jack Eichel's timeline to return to the lineup.
"The timeline is unknown," McPhee told Kypreos and Bourne."We’re two months today post-surgery, and we know that he’s going to be able to come back between three and five months. I think he feels fantastic. It couldn’t have gone any better than it has so far. But the next part will be probably the hardest in terms of when is he ready for contact and that sort of thing. So we don’t have a specific date in mind, and that’s probably a good thing so as to not put any pressure on him.
But while collecting stars has positioned Vegas as one of the game's top clubs, it's also created a complicated salary cap picture to navigate — a process that won't get any simpler with Eichel's $10-million annual cap hit soon added to the mix. That said, McPhee made clear the team isn't worried about how all the pieces will fit together when the time comes, particularly given how the organization's rash of injuries this season affects that salary cap situation.
With the Golden Knights having established a reputation for being in on seemingly every noteworthy name that hits the market — and winding up with a fair number of those players in the end — some have wondered aloud whether they'll take a look at Evander Kane, whose time with the San Jose Sharks is nearly through.
McPhee was less forthcoming on the subject of whether his organization plans to look into adding Kane.
