If the alternative is surrendering the #2 overall pick this year then yes absolutely. They're trying to contend (and making a muck of it because... you know... they're the Islanders and making a muck of it is what they do) I'd definetely take the bird in hand (High pick this year) if I were they and make a major push to do good next season.
Really the choice to surrender something that is definetly good to hedge against maybe losing something better seems like a bad bet to me considering where they see themselves in the competative cycle.
