Johnsson will be 28 when his deal ends, about to turn 29 in the subsequent season, and he will be a UFA. Kapanen will be 26 a few weeks after his deal expires, and he will still be an RFA for one more year with arbitration rights.
The new offseason and projected regular season cap situation now looks like this:

Notes: Nathan Horton is counted in both totals, Mitch Marner’s qualifying offer amount is included in the offseason space calculation only, and the regular season roster includes 21 roster players (3 goalies, 6 defenders and 12 forwards)
There is enough offseason space now that Marner can be signed without the need for LTIR and leave enough left over to manoeuvre towards a final roster.
Update: this report shows the signing bonuses on Kapanen’s deal.
