Confirmed with Link: Devils acquire Kyle Palmieri - NOW OFFICIAL

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Congrats on getting a pretty good player for essentially peanuts on the dollar. He's going to put up 20 goals 40 points for you guys for a miniscule 1.6 mil. Not a great move by Murray as it stands.


Now don't screw it up by being stupid and overpaying Beleskey.

Thanks. I hope Shero doesn't touch Beleskey with a ten foot pole.

 

[NJDevs26]

Oh great Tom's trolling us now...or Shero is angling for Beleksley's rights.

Palmieri trade is apparently not official yet. Shero declined to comment -- for now.

 

[New Jack City]

Shero took the job and has made 4 immediate moves with tremendous upside in Kalinin, Mozik, Zacha and Palmieri. Hard to dislike his effort so far.

Geez. I was so excited and now I'm so nervous, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Agreed. He knows what this team needs, then again who doesn't, and has done an nice job thus far in trying to fill those voids. And the off-season's just begun, excited to see what else he has in store.

 

[ghoti]

His numbers are nothing to call home about. Thought, Good replacement for Ryder for sure.

He's the same age as Gelinas. Palmieri is a player with potential that can be developed further.

 

[YouMyBoyBlue]

Is it possible that Beleskey wants out in Anaheim since he turned them down?

 

[New Jack City]

Yeah the hold on it being official is Beleskey's rights as Kypreos speculated earlier

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

look at his ice time

 

[New Jack City]

I could be a good replacement for Ryder.

 

[nugg]

Now we have the "good" Palmieri!

 

[New Jersey Devils]

I'll be sad if this isn't real.

 

[Normal Devil]

look at his ice time

Same thing with Beleskey as well ... doesn't get much ice time .. an average of about 13 minutes per over the past several years with the Ducks.

 

[NJDevs26]

This is one thing that would never have happened with Lou lol...when a deal was done, it was official.

 

[kiwidevil]

His most common linemates were Kesler and Belesky, followed by Getzlaf and Perry.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Can Beleskey play right wing?

He and Palmieri would immediately slot into no. 1 & 2 on our RW depth chart.

 

[ghoti]

Big ups to Lou for getting that pick for Shero to use.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Same thing with Beleskey as well ... doesn't get much ice time .. an average of about 13 minutes per over the past several years with the Ducks.

Beleskey's shooting percentage is what scares me

more than doubled his career average this year. that screams contract year.

 

[devlzfan]

If it happens, I hope it is official, there shouldn't be one person knocking this deal. He is cheap ($1.46 cap), he is a right winger, and he's TWENTY-FOUR! That is batting 1.000. He was buried on the Ducks depth chart and despite getting opportunities to play in the top 6, they weren't consistent.

I really hope this goes through because that is a score for Shero! The 2nd rounder this year and 3rd rounder next year were extra picks and he put them to good use (hopefully!)

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Ugh cmon. Don't make me hate you Ray. I thought you made a good move. Don't ruin by trading Gelly or something for Beleskeys rights.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Can Beleskey play right wing?

He and Palmieri would immediately slot into no. 1 & 2 on our RW depth chart.

No. Bels only plays LW. And trust me you guys want no part of him for the money he's asking. He's a glorified grinder that had an aberration of a contract year. He's probably going to go back to 15-15 type numbers.

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

His numbers are nothing to call home about. Thought, Good replacement for Ryder for sure.

He was playing third line minutes in Anaheim. He'll probably slot in as a top six RW on the Devils. We can see what he does with the increased ice time, but he's still young and I think he has quite a bit of skill and potential.

 

[NJDevs26]

Had to downgrade to speculation ftm, hopefully to cancel out the jinx

At least there's this possibility:

Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice 35s36 seconds ago
Possible hold-up on trade becoming official is Palmieri is not in N. America and Ducks having trouble reaching him to tell him of trade.

 

[Tundra]

Palmieri grades out to be a solid 2nd liner on this team. We need depth like this.

 

[Colin226]

They just announced the trade on NHL Network, hmmmm...
