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.

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.
