I know those are the most extreme cases of cap retention but it’s a point against the blanket statement that he has full authority to retain salary.

Certainly possible.
But in that case you would have the Devils asking and Conroy saying no way Jose and that would be that.
He would know.
He wouldn't head into a Markstrom negotiation that got done package wise without knowing if he could or couldn't retain for Markstrom.
Devils are frustrated because they think the Flames want too much for retention? I can see that 100%.
