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)

[red devil]

8-10 this year, and hopefully 30 next year......going to be close...

40 games is exclusively for next year

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Ok so 3rd round pick it is, still much better then I would have ever expected at this point, even at 50% retained!

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

Savard they have been trying to make work this week and presumably it just wasn't there. We'll get a slot back in the summer and the lack of a retention slot isn't why Matheson/Newhook/Anderson won't be traded today. If there's no bigger trades in discussion those slots are involved with the alternative would be playing 3rd party broker to get a 4th-6th, so no biggie. We could also pay another team a 4th-6th to retain on Evans/Savard if it comes to that.

I don't think Newhook or Matheson would really benefit all that much from retain either. Matheson's already pretty cheap if a team is considering him for their top 4 and Newhook is reasonably priced, especially if we're doing a money in/money out kind of trade for a big upgrade.

what are we getting by retaining on Eddy, Petry (x2), Allen (x2), Dvo, Armia?

Mike Hoffman gone, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, and a 3rd that can become a 2nd? That seems reasonable to me for 3 retain slots this year and 2 for next year.

Yeah, okay... Probably won't happen.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Are we going to pin a countdown thread for Allen starts??

Guys and Gals, In Hugo! We Trust! ;-) R.

Looks like it's likely going to be a third rounder.

Not necessarily. If he plays around 8 until the end of the year he’d only have to play 32 next year, which is doable.

Hurrah! ... Who's our new tank Commander now?

 

[CHarlie]

Yeah that 2nd round condition is only to please the masses.....no way NJ allows it to happen

Go look at the bottom of page 6 of this thread

Watch Allen win Vezina now

It makes sense, early in the season the insiders said Allen's value was worth about a 4th round pick at 50% retained

 

[Andrei79]

Where did you see this?

Frank Stupidelli just corrected himself saying it was 40 games just for next season.

Seravalli corrected is tweet

Thanks, the thread is going too fast to keep up lol

 

[The Great Weal]

There's like a 1% chance of Allen playing 40 games next year. The odds are Devils add a legit starting goalie in the offseason.

 

[red devil]

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Oh man, how stupid are New Jersey?

Take that back!!!!

New Jersey are geniuses for taking Alen off our hands!

Nothing bad to say about them! Especially when Allen plays his 40th game and we get a 2nd round pick who will obviously become a stud in Montreal!

 

[Canadienna]

I've got a feeling Jake Allen might miraculously play 39 games next year.
