<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>joshelkin</b></div><div>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</div></div>

Of course you can always threaten an offersheet, but I was trying to think of a deal that gets done for sure as an armchair GM. The threat of one and doing the deal under my circumstances assumes it gets done, and then people just comment that "it never does" lol. I also got rid of our second rounder, and tried to not blow up our 2020 draft.

Maybe a second in 2020 and a third this year?
