  The trilayer and pentalayer spin valve structures are revisited to determine
the behavior of pair correlations and Josephson current when the magnetic
layers are canted at arbitrary angle. The two systems display markedly
different behaviors in the center magnetic layer. While the trilayer generates
a triplet component that is weakly affected by canting, the pentalayer tunes in
singlet pair correlations depending heavily on canting. We also show that a
minimum with depleted $m=\pm1$ triplet components, rather than a $0-\pi$
transition, may be observed in the current profile $I_c(d_F)$ of a trilayer
spin valve. The depleted-triplet minimum (DTM) is directly attributable to a
decrease of $m=\pm1$ triplet correlations with increased thickness of the
central ferromagnet, accompanied by a hidden, simultaneous sign change of the
Gor'kov functions contributed from the left and right superconductors. We
introduce a toy model for superconducting-magnetic proximity systems to better
illuminate the behavior of individual components of the Gor'kov function and
compare with a full numerical calculation.
