Honestly with that roster right now and how much it was gutted...I'd be tempted to let them have him and take the 4 first rounders.
Then you have $8M in cap space and a lot of draft capital to go work on a trade for somebody else - say Ehlers or one of the RFAs from Winnipeg for example.

They could only offer him $10.5+ at the cost of four first round picks, in which case you laugh and take them all the way to the bank.

The compensation limits are the AAV of the offer sheet averaged over the length of the contract to an upper limit of five years. So it would be 4 firsts at that offer anyways.
