Default Cassini Orbiter End of Mission Ideas

I understand that as the mission evolves controllers will use Titan to
slowly change the orbit of Cassini to a more or less Saturn polar one.

I was wondering if at the end of the mission there is any chance to use
Saturn, Titan or any of Saturns other moons to change Casini's orbit such
that Titan could capture it.

If enough propellant was available could this be done??
