Michael Kapla: Headed overseas
Kapla secured a contract with Swedish second-tier club Vasterviks IK on Friday.
Kapla spent the 2019-20 campaign primarily playing in the ECHL with the Newfoundland Growlers, for which he notched 21 points in 35 contests. The blueliner managed 14 games with the Marlies in the AHL last season and tallied one goal and five helpers. The Wisconsin native hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2016-17, when he was with the Devils, and he seems unlikely to make his way back.

Michael Kapla: Free agency on tap
Minnesota won't extend Kapla a qualifying offer, which means he'll become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.
Kapla hasn't appeared in an NHL contest since 2016-17, so it's not exactly surprising that the Wild have decided to cut him loose. He'll hope to land a two-way deal with a new organization this offseason.

Wild's Michael Kapla: Sent to Minnesota
The Devils traded Michael Kapla to the Wild on Wednesday in exchange for Ryan Murphy.
Still just 24, Kapla has displayed some offensive promise with AHL Binghamton the last pair of seasons, notching 15 points -- one goal and 15 assists -- over 45 games this season. Kapla doesn't have much NHL experience under his belt, seeing his only NHL action in 2016-17 when he went without a point over five games. It seems more likely than not that Kapla will be headed for the AHL with his new organization.

The 23-year-old agreed to the deal to keep him in New Jersey's organization. He has five career appearances in the NHL at the end of the 2016-2017 season, but will likely return to AHL Binghamton after recording 21 points with them this past season.

Devils' Michael Kapla: Presented with qualifying offer
Kapla has received a qualifying offer from the Devils.
Kapla appeared in five games with the big club during the 2016-17 campaign, but he's going to have a hard time cracking the roster next season. The 23-year-old blueliner will likely spend most of the year with AHL Binghamton, where he just posted 21 points in 63 games.
