Agreed it's questionable that Eichel at $10M is an improvement on Lindholm at $4.8M.
3 1sts on top of that and it becomes even more questionable.

20-21: 1.6 GSVA
21-22: 2.8 GSVA (End of year projected)
Eichel:
18-19: 3.1 GSVA
19-20: 2.8 GSVA
20-21: 0.6 GSVA (Projected 1.6 GSVA if he played full season)
21-22: 2.6 GSVA (Projected had he been healthy this year)
So considering that their actual on-ice impact might not be that different, and since Lindholm costs $4.85M, and Eichel costs $10M...I could see why Treliving might have been hesitant to pull that trigger, and that's before you consider the injury/surgery risk.
