You cannot equivocate a 13.8% shooting percentage at let's say 20 TOI to a 10% shooting percentage at let's say 17 TOI.
If you were to give Eller the same minutes as Johanssen, their numbers would be pretty damn close. They are probably going to assume that Eller can fill the role of Johanssen or Burakovsky can

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see why those two numbers aren't comparable, especially considering that both players have had over 700 shots in their career (MJ - 738, LE - 851).
(Also, Johansson plays about 17 minutes a game to Eller's 15, but regardless)
That being said, I don't disagree that Eller (or better Burakovsky) can fill that role to at least a approximately comparable extent.
