Kapanen is not nearly on the same level as some of the other names being mentioned.

And if Pittsburgh has two good seasons then you’re trading Tkachuk for two picks in the 20-30 range.

At least with a piece like Bratt or Kyrou you know you’re getting at least one piece that’s young top 6 talent.
Oh, I should explain that I’d hope for a couple things:
1) Pittsburgh doesn’t make the playoffs
2) Kapanen or the following years’ first can be used to move up in the draft

Ideally for sure you’d want a partner who’s not in a position to make the playoffs.
