His qualifying offer would only be $875k. I doubt he goes that route, even without having very many options.
For all the talk about offer sheets potentially being offered to Matthews and Marner, I'd argue that Kapanen is probably the best target for a team looking to give one. If a team offered Kapanen $4mil the Leafs would only get a 2nd round pick back in compensation if they didn't match.
Oh haha, I thought his would be closer to Johnsson's QA (yeah I probably could've looked it up and done the math, but who can post with researched-quality for a full 82 game season); a 1 year bridge would make a lot of sense to me + Jan 1 extension. I don't think anyone on this team on the cusp of greatness is even going to entertain an offer sheet.
