Default Pens put Kapanen on waivers. UPD: Claimed by St. Louis

One more year at $3.2 mil

Been very surprised at how Kapanen has worked out in Pit. He was pretty solid in Toronto but never got into Sullivan’s good books from what I hear. Could see Chicago maybe claiming him but in all likelihood, he’ll pass through.

If he didn’t have another year I would be happy to swap Lucic for him which Burke would probably be interested in but the Flames are already over the cap next year so it doesn’t make sense

If the Flames want to try anything for the deadline, a claim here could be it. He's having a tough season on the 3rd line and not seeing much in terms of OZ starts, but could certainly infuse some much needed life into the Calgary PP.

Guessing they're nervous about their playoff odds and aren't giving up on getting in. Watch them acquire Meier or Kane.

3.2M next year. Can't add that.

They must have needed some Kap space.

Like the player but we can't bring in his salary.

If they retained half I would be more than willing to look into bringing him in.

Dube's package of skills, but Ruzicka's level of GAF.

Worth a claim, but Sutter would bench Kapanen so fast.

I'd swap Kevin Rooney for Kapanen, if that makes the cap work and prevents Tre from spending assets on depth

Which is weird, because his father was such a hard working player and is now a coach. You would think that would have rubbed off on his kid more. Maybe a disciplinarian coach like Sutter would be good for him though.

That's just it, I mean in term of GAF, Lucic's GAF hasn't been there in most of the season, especially in defensive zone. But yet, Sutter refuses to bench him or scratch him.

It doesn't. At all.
Moving Rooney free ups like $150K in cap space.

My math has it being pretty close with the Lucic contract coming off for next year unless I'm missing something?

I think it would be fair to assume that there are going to be some hockey trades to be made as well to alter the existing group that will change the cap situation.
