Kapanen trade makes no sense. For $300k less you can offersheet for a 2nd round pick. He isn't worth an unprotected 1st and 3rd
If you want his rights - threaten Dubas with a $4.2M offersheet. It's unlikely he can match without sacrificing someone else from the roster. Then, trade a prospect (David Quenneville? RHD) with a 2nd for Kapanen's rights. He's technically never offersheeted just the threat of one. We can then sign him to any combination of term/AAV without giving up that 1st/3rd compensation
