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)

[vokiel]

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.

They should have put the condition on if they buy Allen out.

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.

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.

We already had Hoffman gone in the first trade. We re-shipped Petry to Detroit at 50% for Gustav Lindstrom and a 4th.
So a whole bunch of 3rds and 4ths.

Disagreeed on the bolded. Matheson at 2.4 and Newhook at 1.5 become immensely valauable players to contenders.

A couple of years ago we saw Vegas have to dump Pacioretty to save space.
This year? Just as an example, Carolina will have to decide what to do with Necas. They might prefer Newhook at 1.5 for 3 years while keeping Guentzel, where we would prefer the better player in Necas regardless of cap hit at this point in our rebuild.

Pretty good return. I suspected they would use that last retention spot to dump Allen. Now that he’s gone I can say that he’s absolute garbage for the last two seasons.

Why would we be trading Matheson or Newhook.. and why would we be retaining on those players?

Jake Allen is 2-12 since November.

Bring that to .500(Primeau number)

And we are in Washington spot. Now add Dach.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

strongly doubt Allen will play more than 40 games for them next season

edit: hang on, is it cumulative with this year? including playoffs?

 

[japhi]

Fantastic asset management.

To get value?

Are you prepared to give Mike 8 million in 2 years time for the duration of our competeitive window. He'll be an anchor.

If he continues to put up 50+ a year on 24 mins a night that's what he'll get. Klingberg stupidly turned down a $7 million x 8 offer from Dallas in a lower cap era.

So he's our tank commander?

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

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

and then he went on to have a shitty season with shitty numbers to only improve his value.. haha

 

[Player 61]

Lot's of picks to Improve team!

 

[HomeAndHome]

Well, I didn't think Allen would bring back anything more than a 5th w 50% retention seeing his play this year

I'm pretty happy with it even if it ends up being a 3rd not a 2nd

KH apparently knows the market, holding all 3 goalies paid off in the end!

Apparently the 40 games is for 2024 / 25 season....doubt it's happening .....but one can dream.

 

[Player 61]

Allen Nice guy From Maritimes. Even Price says trade my Contract to Improve the team!!!!

 

[JustAHabFan]

thanks Allen but good bye

And Good Luck.

 

[MXD]

Hughes using his retention spot on Allen instead of Savard is very, very, very smart.

 

[tazsub3]

Well it's nice to see Hughes playing chess....was so used to seeing Bergevin playing checkers.

Bro Bergevin was more playing dodgeball

 

[Nashy]

Bro Bergevin was more playing dodgeball

Nah...he couldn't dodge a wrench.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Hughes using his retention spot on Allen instead of Savard is very, very, very smart.

Why?

 

[GrandBison]

Thanks Jake! Now go win some games in NJ so they have to let you play 40 games.

 

[nhlfan9191]

If NJ is serious about trying to win, he won’t hit that 40 game mark.

 

[Nashy]

Found what he was actually playing......hide and seek....good times.

 

[jellybeans]

If we Had a negititaor like Hughes. The Expos would still be in Canada! Great Guys! Hugo! Everything is Possible!

Wow i just learned a new word

 

[GrandBison]

If NJ is serious about trying to win, he won’t hit that 40 game mark.

Maybe in Utica?
