As far as Lindros' concussion goes, that also matters - injuries happen, so paying 'anything' for a player comes with risk. And we are talking about Eichel here, so injury risk is much more than an academic debate here.

At the time of the trade Forsberg wasn't a superstar hall of famer though, he was a recent 6th overall pick selected after Scott Lachance and Aaron Ward. He wouldn't even come over to play in the NHL for a couple more years. In hindsight Forsberg turned into a star player but without the benefit of hindsight you do that trade every time.
