Lindholm has a 4.85M cap hit so those top teams could easily find the salary needed if the Flames decided to go rebuild.

It's not a question of Eichel v. Lindholm. I'm assuming they have to trade Eichel, so the question is what's the best return? In respect to Calgary, is Lindholm better than Tkachuk as far as cost, production, fit, team need? Tkachuk can't play centre, costs far more, produces less on a consistent basis. But he's 3-4 years younger, so it really depends what they want to do in the next short while.
