As for the post, the value is similar of Dermott and Jokiharju but I don't think either team is ready to move either of them so I don't see it happening.
Your contracts need work though. 4 years is the absolute worst term to give Marner. It walks him right into his first year of free agency so it limits the availability they have to re-sign him again. Personally, I see either a 3 year, 6 year or 8 year deal for him. 3 years around $7.5-$8M, 6 years around $10.5M and 8 years around $11.5M.
As for Kapanen, everything about him screams a bridge deal. It's best for him and the team. For the team, it keeps his cap hit lower so they can manage better this next year then when things open up they can renegotiate. For Kappy, he's had 1 year in the league which he was far too inconsistent in and played on Matthews wing. That doesn't get you a long term, high dollar deal at his age. I can see him around 2 years but no higher than $3M. Anything longer comes at a cap hit over $4M and closer to $5M and that's not good for either side.
For Johnsson, I think you're bang on for a fair contract. Good work!
