Does it lower his value though? There is still only one Jack Eichel and centers like this rarely come up. I think you just look to Duchene and see the value of holding out for the right deal. Especially if it is a futures deal, a team may be willing and okay to LTIR the Eichel salary. Do the Kucherov special. Depending on the Olympics, being out for 2-3 months once the season has already started could see him come back for the playoffs.
