Value of: Tomas Tatar or Andreas Johnsson 50% retained

[Stephen Gionta]

Both have a year left after this season. Any team looking for a middle 6 winger for 2 playoff runs? Devils can retain 50% of either contract.

Tatar would be $2.25 million cap hit.
Johnsson would be $1.7 million cap hit.

Tatar was a healthy scratch for 2 of his last 3 playoff runs, he likely won't be used for any playoff run.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

I'd bet that Johnsson is the only one, who can arouse some interest. He can be a useful third line winger for a playoff team.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I doubt there would be any interest in Tatar for the reason mentioned above. He's in the right place: a team looking to get better in the regular season.

Johnsson should get a solid return (2nd+) at that number. Whether that's worth using up cap space and a retention slot is a different question. He does have a NTC that activates in the Summer.

I think they should trade Johnsson if they can get a 2nd+

I like Johnsson (at least this year's version), but the Devils have too many small (or soft) wingers. There should be a better balance in their forward group.

Neither player will return enough to warrant using a retention slot, not saying there wouldn't be interest in but Devils should try and take a contract back instead of retaining.

Only guy with term they should even consider retaining on is Severson

PK Subban would like a word! With a third team like Buf or Sea helping, he might be worth more than you think. Also maybe we help with a trade like MA Fleury. Get an asset for being the third team in

Subban is a UFA he doesn't have term. Fitz should absolutely be willing to turn some of this cap space into assets by 3rd party retention on UFA contracts

I think the Leafs would be interested in a guy like Tatar or Johnsson if he is at 50% retention, and you are taking back a contract like Ritchie.
Problem (obviously) is what the + would need to be to make that happen.

Something like Tatar/Johnsson@50% + P.K Subban for Ritchie + Holl + ?

Pretty sure Tatar is a secret cheat. If you make him a healthy scratch in the playoffs, you make the cup finals

Very important piece.

Might as well give up a 1st for Pat Maroon instead then

Johnsson at 1.7 would be pretty great. He's a guy that can fill in on any line.
