Allen won't bring enough value to justify using a retention slot on him.
We would be better off buying him out if we can't get a team to take his full cap hit.
It will cost an extra ~$400k vs retaining and he'll get to sign anywhere he chooses for cheap.
The buyout cost the following year is only ~$750k, negligible.
Better off keeping Savard if that's the return as well.
If we don't make the playoffs next year he'll bring a better return as a rental than this.
If we do make the playoffs, we're going to need him.
