Kapanen would need to have a HUGE year to earn that kind of contract in my opinion. Personally, I can see him getting $5M and Dermott getting $4M on a slightly different term. That kind of change doesn't impact your bottom line though.
I also think that in another year one of Moore, Bracco, or Petan will be able to play top-9 minutes and adding a UFA forward in someone like Kreider won't be necessary, maybe that money could be used on the blueline for more help, or Johnsson would get a bigger slice of the pie (see my comment on part 1 as well).
