If I'm San Jose, I think I'd rather have Nico Sturm's expiring deal than Christian Dvorak's - the two guys are performing more or less the same this year (Dvorak's at 0.28 PPG, Sturm's at 0.26, both low-40s in CF%, both winning a hair under 60% of their faceoffs) so I'd rather have to try and flip out a $2M cap hit instead of a $4.45M one - especially when you remember that the Sharks will have all three retention slots occupied next year.

Rest of the deal doesn't change my mind - Kapanen is an interesting prospect but I think I'd rather have the Penguins' 1st this year than wait a year for the Flames' pick next year, even with the other advantageous pick swap there. Ylonen & Pezzetta are replacement level guys that don't necessarily add a ton of value here either.
