Confirmed with Link: Palms and Zajac traded to Isles for 2021 1st, AJ Greer, Mason Jobst, 2022 conditional 4th

[SKNJD9]

I knew it would be underwhelming. Should’ve traded Palms last year would’ve gotten a nice haul for em.

that pick is probably gonna be late as hell. Hopefully not though.

idc if it's the rangers the isles play in the 1st rd. rooting for anyone to bounce them early

 

[LeedsMonster]

Wonder if we have a Big Foote sighting on the horizon....

 

[Andre Palot]

Good for Zajac and Palmieri but man I don't like this. I do not like this at all.

When the centerpiece is a late 1st?

Yeah, it sucks.

 

[SKNJD9]

Let’s hope Castron can pull a rabbit out of his hat with the late 1st in a really weird year.

I hope the Isles get bounced early and Fitz uses that pick to trade for some immediate help.

I get people are thinking “they aren’t coming back so get something”. Honestly for that return I rather nothing. They legit give the islanders a great shot at a cup run and all we could get for that is a late first and a 4th? I would’ve told Lou buzz off and have him call in a panic on deadline day willing to pay more. But whatever we will see this kid whoever they pick in the devils lineup in probably 2024-25 lol

 

[Emperoreddy]

What is Zajac even going to do there? They don't really need him.

 

[NJDevs26]

When the centerpiece is a late 1st?

Yeah, it sucks.

Hopefully it's not TOO late a 1st. Yeah I may have to root for even the Rangers or the Flyers, as much as I'd like to see Travis win, I'm not particularly invested in it when it's a Lou colony down on Long Island.

 

[None Shall Pass]

This f***ing sucks.

 

[AfroThunder396]

If anyone had known there'd be a global pandemic that shut down the league caused a flat cap for half a decade, I'm sure Palmieri would have indeed been traded last year.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I just can't see how people don't like the return

from all reports, the offers for Palmieri were a 2nd + meh prospect

Zajac alone is worth probably a 3rd round pick, especially with his salary (even at 50%) and thats even if he waived to go anywhere else

Or you move the 1st for something else.

Yeah F that conditional third, hope they get bounced in the first round (sorry Trav) and get an earlier 1st

 

[Emperoreddy]

If anyone had known there'd be a global pandemic that shut down the league caused a flat cap for half a decade, I'm sure Palmieri would have indeed been traded last year.

Reportedly the offers weren't very good last year and they most likely wanted to try and resign him.

But the flat cap changed the math

[SKNJD9]

This might be my personal low-point of the rebuild. The only thing saving it is the kids we do have and we're not looking at a roster led by Rutuu an Cammallieri...

Jesus, this f***ing hurts

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

so, until Nico gets activated, the highest paid forward on the team is.......

Andreas Johnsson! lmao

 

[Azathoth]

I hope the Isles get bounced early and Fitz uses that pick to trade for some immediate help.

I’d be ok with that too!

 

[jkrdevil]

Yes, you root for the two teams in the east below the Islanders to win round 1. That bumps down their pick in both the 1st and 2nd round (which we also own).

 

[NJDevs26]

Supposedly Fitz meeting the media at 8:30, maybe it'll be on YT live

 

[Emperoreddy]

No way Zajac even waived for any other team so that torpedoes his potential trade value even more.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

now, you 1000000% package that 1st round pick with a forward prospect for a legit winger this summer

 

[Whaddagoal]

WTF! ZAJAC??

 

[Blackjack]

so, until Nico gets activated, the highest paid forward on the team is.......

Andreas Johnsson! lmao

We must be close to the cap floor. Even with 50% retention that's what, $5.5 million AAV that just left?

So you’d pay a first and fourth round pick just to ensure the Islanders have a smaller shot at winning the cup? Would you do that every season?
