If the Islanders offer sheet Nylander and give him $7.25 million per year, they would get a 1st round pick, 2nd round pick, and 3rd round pick, not four first round picks, I believe. That's the same thing Vegas gave for Tatar, who was a healthy scratch for playoff games. The Islanders' picks may be higher than Vegas' were, and the Islanders don't have several picks from other teams like Vegas did, but, unless the Islanders are among the worst teams in the League (which is quite possible given their current roster) or win the draft lottery (which is unlikely unless they are near the bottom anyway), chances are, the Leafs don't get anyone near the value of Nylander. It's certainly a risk, but if management feels confident enough that, with Nylander, they wouldn't be getting Hughes or something, it would probably be worth it.
