I'm with you that Holtz + 1st even seems like too much. Don't see NJ parting with Siegenthaler as they are rumored to be after a defenseman. Maybe they'd try to dump Palat on us or something.

To add Markstrom and trade Vanecek is a seperate deal 50% retained is alot of cap for a team to take on. Especially next year. In my scenario the 2 teams retaining are rebuilding teams, NJ is not trading for Markstrom to build next year. That $1.7 mil cap on their books next year make 0 sense.
NJ could also after the deal look at a rental vet dman with salary retained to replace Seigenthaler. Maybe they are looking for a dman because Seignthaler is in the deal and they are seeing what is out there as a cheap replacement.
You don't think Vanecek double retained at $850k has value? 1 bad year and the guy becomes useless? Vanecek would be a good back up at nearly league minimum and 100% has value at $850k
