Confirmed Signing with Link: [NJD] Devils re-sign Kyle Palmieri (5 years, $4.65M AAV)

[hockeyr5]

Didn't really think about what he would sign for at all because I don't really care about mediocre guys on bad teams.

As I said if Devil fans like it then great for them. I am glad he didn't sign that deal for my team though.

Tied for 19th in goals last year. Scored the same amount of goals as Kucherov, Panarin, Gaudreau, Duchene. He scored more goals than Toews, Sedin, Skinner, Malkin, Hall, Kessel, Oshie, Kopitar.

Yes I am throwing names but there is no way you can call Palmieri "mediocre."

Elias

I love Elias but I am not sure he has a place on the team anymore

not sure I want him playing center, either.

And I am glad he didnt, as I am happy he stays with the Devils scoring 30 goals/season

 

[John Pedro]

if I had to guess, right now we'd roll something like:

Hall-Henrique-Cammalleri
Boucher-Zajac-Palmieri
Zacha-????-Smith-Pelly
Josefson-Fiddler-Kalinin

they also have Beau Bennett. It seems as though Shero/Hynes might see Zacha as a winger based on recent interviews, but I am not sure who plays 3C at the moment.

Zacha gonna be a center. Hall and Cammalleri are both LW.

Hall-Rico-Bennett
Cammy-Zajac-Palmieri
Elias-Zacha-Boucher

would be my top9 guess if Elias returns.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

I wouldn't expect 30 every season.
If he plays 82 games every year, I would expect 23-27 goals. However I wouldn't be shocked if he hit 30 again in his career.

 

[Extra Texture]

They stole him off the Ducks and now they get him to sign on for a very good price. Nicely played by the Devils.

 

[Shesty31]

Looks like a good deal.

 

[McNurse]

That's a pretty nice contract palms, always knew the guy would a stud. You could see it in flashes when he was with the ducks, was never given a far chance though

Hall-Rico-Bennett
Cammy-Zajac-Palmieri
Elias-Zacha-Boucher

would be my top9 guess if Elias returns.

I am not penciling Beau Bennett into the top line

Cammalleri has apparently played RW in the past. I don't think it'd be that big of a switch

As a neutral fan, this deal looks great.

I won my hockey pool last year thanks to having Stempniak and Palmieri. No one respected the numbers they were putting up early in the season, so I snagged them.

Is Stempniak signed yet, you guys should re-acquire him?

Palmieri continued to play great all season. He looks like a stud forward for years.

NJ is killing it this offseason. Really happy for you guys.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Calling it now he'll be a contract dump within two seasons.

 

[SenzZen]

Great deal. Good for you, Devils fans.

thanks, and sadly stemps off to carolina :\ but we're okay on the RW side actually!

did you wager almost all your vCash on calls like that?

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Great deal Devils

Between this and the Smith contract, Ottawa finally has some reasonable comparable contracts for Hoffman.

 

[LG18]

I don't see how anyone can criticize this deal. Both team and player friendly.

I don't see anything wrong about signing a 25yo F who's going to be a regular 25 goals scorer to an under $5M AAV deal.

Good job Shero, I think the Devils are in good hands now.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Calling it now he'll be a contract dump within two seasons.

Based on what?

 

[BinCookin]

Id take that bet (For Palmieri NOT to be dumped)

 

[liquid1988]

Based on what?

Based on hope that his team will be able to pick him up

 

[Charlie Conway]

Has to be one of the worst contracts in the league.

 

[anezthes]

Big fan, hope he continues to the tear it up!

 

[TNT87]

Nice deal by NJ.

 

[CanadienShark]

Very nice deal.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Really impressed with the job Shero has done outside of the draft. Another really good deal.

Gives me hope for B Schenn, although I understand the limited NTC is another factor.

just curious, why do you think he's not a good player/his performance in the past doesn't indicate that he'll sustain the same level of play?

Having watched him play, moreso in Anaheim than NJ, and looking at his numbers. When I have watched him he doesn't have a very good shot, he isn't tough, he isn't shifty and isn't a great passer.

There is nothing in his game that is impressive or indicates to me that he will be a decent scorer at the NHL level.
