Every year at the trade deadline, teams will give up a first rounder for 2 months of a player if they think he'll put them over the top.
If a full year of Tarasenko puts the Islanders back in the playoff hunt, it might be worth it. If it doesn't work out and the Islanders look to be missing the playoffs, he can likely be flipped for another team's first rounder at the deadline.
