Even if Palmeri never really gets better you still would have a borderline top six guy that is a better option than anything we have on the roster at RW and is cost-controlled for a while. We essentially were going to have to pay $5 million a year to a similar guy in Frolik (and may still do so)

We will be in that situation next year with Palmieri. I can see Palmieri putting up 20G, 25-30A given the opportunity.

I agree that it's a great trade. My only fear is how much we fork out for him next year after he breaks out. How much you think he would get? My guess is 4 yrs/4 mil.

He's RFA, not UFA...unless he has a BIG year I don't know how much his salary's going up.

That's a decision I would love for the Devils to be able to debate.

This is a good trade, even if it doesn't help us much in the standings.

Complaining about this is pretty ridiculous IMO.

Those 2nd rounders that we picked are probably not gonna be of much help in the next 2-3 years, and they may not even ever be as good as Palmieri.

I'm going to enjoy it a lot more than watching Ruutu and Zubrus get a combined 16 points this season.

Beleskey on the other hand.:shakehead

If it's a fair deal for Beleskey, I won't be too mad. Like for what Clowe's cap hit is, I guess isn't too bad.

I very much like this trade. I'm really happy with Shero's first real big day on the job. If he somehow manages to get Belskey on a decent deal and then flip a D for another forward, also maybe sign Frolik I will be thrilled.

He will be rfa with a year out until ufa status. Any deal next year will have to buy ufa years.

Of course if he isn't a fit, you just deal him away next year.

I like this move. We get a 24 y/o kid who is still developing. I think he can be a real good player for us.

He is from NJ so that good adds a marketing factor to it.

If we got Beleskey rights also it tells me that Shero is going to attack all the decent young forwards on the board.

However having said that, yes im very worried about signing Beleskey and how bad he could be.

I just want it made official. Like now... It's making me stress out. I don't want to let Murray sleep on it.

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

At least there's this possibility:

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.


Haven't the Ducks ever heard of Cellphones? :sarcasm:


Seriously, though, where the hell is Kyle that anyone would have trouble contacting him? #SightSeeingInEurope?

Well a couple things i didnt realize about Palmieri.

Damn this kids fast.

Hes a Right shot.

That checks off 2 boxes we needed.

Also since i didnt watch him much out west he scores from all over, breakouts, shooting from outside, also up close doesnt mind going into the front of the net with the puck.

Good addition!

At least we didn't trade for a first round pick for a huge question mark in goal and a washed up pile of trash.

So im confused, is us getting Beleskey's rights something that is happening or speculated?

and great pick up with Palmieri, young kid who can play top 6. think he might do very well.

All we need is a legitimate top line RWer and I think we're set.

If the Beleskey thing goes through (and assuming we sign him to a contract that isn't utter garbage)

Cam-Zajac-???
Beleskey-Henrique-Palmieri
Ruutu-JJ-Tootoo
Boucher-Kalinin-Bernier

Zacha will hopefully be our first line C in a few years. I like the direction this team is going. Just need that last question mark figured out. Maybe MSL for one year as a temp, cheap solution.

Just want this to be official. Don't know if I can go to sleep before that happens. I'm too much of a fan for my own good.

Same.. He's out playing golf in Ireland with some teammates. 5 hours time difference, I'd assume by 10am their time it'll be confirmed, so 5am here.
