For me it’s as simple as Markstrom @50% and an average prospect for 10th OA and Allen OR Markstrom (full cap hit) and Mangiapane (50%) for Allen, Palat, and 10th OA. Mangiapane would just be a rental for Jersey. Could even find a team like the Sharks, Utah, or Ducks to get an additional 3rd/4th to retain 50% on Mangiapane to get him to 1.45m for Jersey. That would be enticing for them, to gain a goalie and a decent middle 6 winger to replace Palat at 1/4 of the cap hit.
Any trade that has us trading a top 64 pick should be a no go. We need to ADD picks not subtract.
