Kapanen isnt worth a 1st & a 2nd round pick, Eakin's worth maybe a 2nd round pick or a 3rd + 5th round pick. Florida jump on that

If a 5th is what makes or breaks this deal who cares? they can have a 5th



considering our 1st is going to be in the 28-31 range this year he is worth it. (he is 22 and can be had for a reasonable price and term)
Also look at the picks we have, drafting 5th and 6th OA in the 2nd round, now is the year to trade our first

Why spend 1st and 2nd for Kappy when you can offer sheet him just for a 2nd rounder though? As long as the salary is below $4,059,322 then it's possible.

I think Toronto would match

I doubt it, they're in deep cap trouble. Besides you can make it higher. At the max you'd be paying 1st and 3rd, which is still less than what you've offered now.

They would match and then just turn around and trade him for more than a second. Value wise that seems right.

you can't trade a player for 1 year after you match an offer

This is Don Waddell, he'll offer him 15x8 and give up 4 1st rounders watch

Awesome thanks! Didn't know that. Appreciate it!

Ummm... Williams.
