I like it. Everything but the 1st is fluff.

 

[Le Grec]

Seriously?

 

[StarBucks]

Awesome

 

[danteipp]

Wow, I hate to give up the first rounder, but don't really care too much about the rest (although Greer might be able to make something of himself as a bottom-six type) AND getting NJD to retain 50% is pretty crazy. Adding both fills two big needs.

 

[SI90]

Love the players. Love the depth with Zajac. Not loving giving up a first but if we can re-sign Palmieri I’ll live with it.

 

[StarBucks]

This’s very big. I knew hall wouldn’t fit the Bill.

 

[Seph]

Wow, that's a big haul. Palmieri does a lot to shore up goal scoring from the wing with Lee out, while Zajac improves us further down the middle depthwise in case of injury and should still be very good defensive winger if there are no injuries. Significant upgrades on MDC/Komarov/et al.

Don't love giving up a 1st rounder, but at the same time, am glad it's for this draft where it's such a crapshoot with the highly limited play to scout.

 

[SI90]

I hope Lou isn’t done.

 

[StarBucks]

Sweet Lou strikes again!!

 

[DerekDevils30]

Well, I officially love you guys now.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Love the players. Love the depth with Zajac. Not loving giving up a first but if we can re-sign Palmieri I’ll live with it.

I know a bunch of us have mentioned it but this really guards us against a center getting hurt

Love this!

I also didnt want to give up the first but honestly screw it, gotta keep trying to go for it! Give Barzal some wingers for once!

 

[MJF]

Great gets for us. We gave up nothing of substance.

 

[StarBucks]

Now If you can pull another trick of getting rid of Ladd and getting up a big defender that would be sweeter

 

[Olliemets]

I hope Lou isn’t done.

Now go pick up a Depth D man.

 

[13th Floor]

Whoa. Zajac too?

 

[Not4u]

Great trade..wow!

 

[PWJunior]

Was expecting Palmieri, but not Zajac too. Our forward group got much deeper with players that fit exactly what Trotz/Lou like to do.

Lou killed it. Very nice.

 

[SI90]

Palmieri is a winger version of Pageau. He’s going to fit in great!!

 

[Islesfan22]

Lou always pulls a surprise. Nobody expected getting zajac too.

 

[Green]

How many other Long Island born Islanders have there been, Chris Ferraro and Ritchie Hansen is all I can think of

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Okay I’m good. Go get the damn Cup.

 

[Beacon Isles]

Our center depth is ridiculously good right now. Liking this trade a lot.
