Confirmed with Link: Jake Allen (50% retained) traded to the Devils for cond. 2025 3rd (2025 2nd if Allen plays in 40+ games and team qualifies for playoffs next season)
- Thread starter Koivu11
- Start date
What else would the retention slots be for? 3rd that can become a 2nd for a little under 2M seems like reasonable value to me.
Its either that, or pay to maneuver out of the cap mess that Bergevin created.
Yeah, will be interesting to follow him. He's still very talented, it's his mental game that hasn't been pro level.

Second most interesting man in the world.
Who should we be retaining on and what would their return be?
thats over 1 and a half seasons and playoffs. could be doable
Not unless all their goalies get hurt and they have no choice but to play Allen.
I find Primeau really struggles staying square when having to move laterally. I also find he doesn't kick himself far enough when having to move laterally. He's always just a little short.
Losing a retention slot for 2 years for a 3rd round pick is very meh.
Usually teams that retain for a year for that amount asks for a 4th

I'm surprised mainboard isn't continuing this narrative that we all expect a 1st rounder for every asset in this organization.
Potential high 2nd if NJ is once again crappy next year. Insane.
This is actually the right question to ask.
My guess is they estimated the value of an Armia and Dvorak with retention, and it wasn't worth more than Allen. That last retention will go to whoever out of Armia, Dvorak or Savard has the most trade value.
There was also value in not having the goaltender logjam, which was a priority to solve. The former three aren't roster issues.
Matheson for a kings ransom
Newhook as part of a package for a big upgrade up front
Anderson if it (somehow) gets us a first
Evans if it gets us a first
Savard if it gets us a first
what are we getting by retaining on Eddy, Petry (x2), Allen (x2), Dvo, Armia?
Make it WORTH something
