Kapanen's results are closer to Kyle Clifford than William Nylander.
2019-20:
CF% - 51.63% (18th on TOR)
GF% - 45.95% (22nd on TOR)
xGF% - 47.99% (24th on TOR)
Scoring chance % - 50.51% (22nd on TOR)
HDCF% - 48.59% (23rd on TOR)
Compared to his teammates, he got thrashed at 5v5. These results aren't new, either -- he's never been a play-driver at even strength. He's their worst regular penalty-killer. And $3.2 million isn't expensive, but it's not exactly cheap either for a guy who's a Toronto-glorified third-liner.
JR got fleeced in this one.

How many players does Toronto have?
Based on your Domi + 1st trade for Gaudreau, and your disdain for this trade, I think maybe you have an inflated opinion of the value of a mid 1st (roughly 50% chance of getting an NHLer)
