Value of: Kapanen offer sheet of $4.000M

They match easily. They'd move other stuff around to make it possible. Kap ain't moving.
I would like Detroit to offer their 2019 2nd for Kapanen with the understanding that the Wings are planning to offersheet Kapanen for around 4 million.
If Toronto is worried about losing Kapanen to an offersheet, they could get an early 2nd round pick in this draft (where they don't have their 1st round pick) instead of waiting a year and not knowing where the pick will land.

They match but I doubt it gets to OS territory. I think he's signing a 1 year deal and waiting for Marleau's contract to be gone before he cashes in. That's the smart thing to do.

Toronto won't have too much cap room to work with, I wouldn't be surprised if they can't match it. Teams should offer sheet him for sure
Can't trade a player for a year after matching an offer sheet.
Can exceed the cap by 10% in the summer. They could easily match (Toronto has about $13M or so in cap space not counting any increase) and deal with the fallout later in the summer. I think to OS Kapenen a team would have to seriously overpay in term or dollars to get Toronto to back away.

Match in less time than it took you to start this thread.

They'd match, but it'll really put a squeeze on their cap. I really want to see Kapanen offer-sheeted. He's an ideal target.
I know that offer sheets never happen but this might be the perfect scenario.
Give him four million a year for five years. It would really put the Leafs in a tough spot cap wise. It would be really hard turning down twenty million dollars. He would still only be 27 and hit the UFA market thus cashing in on another nice contract.
All that for a second round pick.

Probably Nylander. Leafs best hope is to find someone dumber than Dubas to give them decent value, but with Chia gone there aren't many options. You can always count on Chayka to do something stupid, but there aren't many other GM's I see offering much for Nylander and his bloated contract.
Leafs would absolutely match $4m for Kapanen, especially if there's any term on the deal at all. If they matched that they could trade him for way more than a second within 15 minutes. You'd need to be getting up into the $5m or $6m range to really give the Leafs trouble. Even then, they are probably better off matching and then trading that new contract. As a young player with a ton of speed and goalscoring ability he has a lot of value.
EDIT: Y'all can stop quoting a three month old post. You're not the first one to point out the one year trade restriction.

Why is it worth discussing this? I know leads are tight against the cape but they easily match a 4 million offer sheet. Now if it were 6 million...

Long shots...Marleau/Zaitsev. Lesser long shots...Kadri/Nylander. The leafs could also trade Kap for much more than a 2nd prior to any offersheet.

So lose Nylander to keep Kapanen? How is that a win?

I guess to discuss what the Leafs do if this were to happen? Who gets traded assuming they need to move a contract.

Well, lets say you trade Nylander for Pesce after July 1st. Now you've done 2 things....you've upgraded the RHD position, and saved a chunk of cap to put toward signing Kapanen.

Offseason Is The Worst Season
I would be shocked if Kapanen reached RFA status this year. Dubas knows that this is the most dangerous year for offersheets against the Leafs, and that Kapanen is extremely vulnerable. I think he is signed traded well in advance of July 1st.
