I understand the Penguins going for it again, too. Nothing to lose now. But you think surely they could've gotten a better player back for that package with a bit more patience.

Cap hit matters too. Kapanen is a decent player. Kapanen at $3.2M cap hit and $2.6M actual cost, is a really good player.
