[Bleedred]

Was it confirmed if we got Beleskey's rights?

It seems that we do not.

we did not.

Not sure if anyone mentioned, but apparently Kyle is a volume shooter on top of being played lower in the Ducks lineup so his raw numbers might be a bit deceiving.

I wanna see this guy on the right side of Gomez this coming season.

During Shero's interview about Zacha, he discussed wanting him to play center to add to an already solid group of centers and specifically cited Zajac, Henrique, Josefson. To me, it sounds like those are the top 3 entering the season leaving no room for Gomez.

I guess Henrique is going to be playing 2C going forward.

When Quenneville and Zacha are fully cooked Q and JJ will be the bottom6 centers and Zajac will be moved.

Good deal for Palmieri. The Devils RW depth chart now Palmieri/Kalinin/Tootoo/Zubrus

 

[Emperoreddy]

Is that official?

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Do mine eyes deceive me or is that a high number I see? What an historic moment for this franchise.

its Palmieri's junior jersey I believe. roster number hasnt been confirmed as Ive seen

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

I can't imagine Shero completely stepping all over Lou's legacy by allowing high numbers so soon. Maybe in a few years.

Oh, that's less interesting.

 

[Davegarri]

Palmieri did wear 21 in Anaheim. I'd assume he keeps that since it's now available with Gomer not being brought back

Palmieri/Eberle

I haven't seen Palmieri play, I've only read reports. Based on his RH, size, and rep as a sniper I was wondering how he compares to Eberle. Obviously Eberle has better production but he's had much more of an opportunity to play. I've read a report that has pegged Kyle's skill set as being capable of being a 25-30 goal scorer and Eberle was the first comparison I thought of.

 

[New Jack City]

I would say Kyle plays a much harder game while Jordan has more natural offensive talent

Thank you for the response. Do you think Kyle can reach Eberle's level of production? That'd be like having a tougher version of Jordan.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I would say that's accurate.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

I did the completely ignore every other facet of his game and just watch goal highlights thing and was happy about what I saw. He can motor and seems to enjoy destroying the Metro.

Devils could use those skills.

This was exactly the kind of trade we needed. Pick up a great team's "spare part" with a ton of potential before they realize how good he is. Palmieri's had really good underlying numbers for a while with Anaheim. This kid led Syracuse in scoring as a 19-year-old, then finished 3rd the next year (1st in points/game) despite playing 20+ games less than the two guys ahead of him.
