Except they were. Most people around the hockey world and plenty of people on here thought Eichel was an elite #1C that would eventually take that step to the elite level.
You may not have felt that way, but it's not hindsight when others did and they turned out to be right.

As for the point, the poster was implying that because X became a champion, Y can too and that's a silly way to evaluate any player.
I like Lindholm, but his ceiling isn't Eichel's.
Saying because Eichel did something, Lindholm can isn't a point at all.
