Confirmed Trade: [NYI/NJD] Kyle Palmieri, Travis Zajac (both @50%) for AJ Greer, M Jobst, 21 1st, cdnl 22/23 3rd/4th

[PWJunior]

Neither do we

Colorado fans are probably more knowledgeable about Greer.

Jobst is a nice player though. 5'8 though and likely a career AHL'er, but he impressed in summer camps so that's something.

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

All that for a 1st round exit, hmm.

 

[Leafidelity]

The most Lou trade ever

 

[aufheben]

they aren't

I mean I’m hardly an authority but I’ve never heard of them. One is 24 years old and has played 37 NHL games?

Edit: wait and the other guy is f***ing 27 and I drafted? What the hell? Am I reading something about this trade wrong?...

 

[Bomber0104]

Nice adds for the Isles!

 

[Chardo]

Islanders are going to be one hell of an out. Love this for them. What's Lee's timeline?

Out for the season. Back sometime in the fall.

 

[MetsJetsIsles22]

Idk while I think the Islanders got good value here, I don't really feel like either Zajac or Palmieri add anything that the Islanders lack.

Zajac is a defensive center when the Islanders already have Nelson, Pageau and Cizikas. Palmieri is a skilled RWer when the Islanders already have Eberle, Bailey and Wahlstrom. I don't really see what Palmieri or Zajac adds that they don't already have.

Palmieri will get PP time. If the isles get PP thst is more of a threat watch out
Plus 2 vets who LL knows will fit in well.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Nice move for Lou and the Islanders. Needed a couple producers that can dig in for a playoff run. Palms has been an underrated scoring threat for a while, and I think Trotz could get a lot out of Zajac as well.

Smart to get it done earlier rather than later I think. Would not want any part of the Islanders in a PO series.

 

[Jester9881]

Seems like people on here haven’t watched Kyle Palmieri play lately. He stinks (could be checked out but he stunk well before this season)

He just has to be an upgrade over Komarov

I have no idea why would Devils do this, i mean, is this trade supposed to make them better in the future?
This trade made them much worse now, for sure.

Two random players, no ones ever heard of, late 1st in a not so strong 2021 draft,
the only good piece is the 2022 (or 2023 draft pick) pick.
and even that is either 3rd or 4th....

Well, this trade does give Devils young forwards more ice time, bigger role so...maybe that's the best thing,
why the Devils made the trade, because it is not what come back; nothing.

Who is Palmieri kicking off the top powerplay unit though? I thought the Islanders already had their solution for what Palmieri brings to the powerplay, that's exactly what I thought Wahlstrom was.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

where does Pageau play moving forward? He going to stay the 3rd line C? just checked on capfriendly he was slotted into the 3rd C

 

[Chardo]

Making him the first one ever

For sure.

 

[Dangles78]

IMO this is a win for the Isles

 

[Thrasymachus]

I mean I’m hardly an authority but I’ve never heard of them. One is 24 years old and has played 37 NHL games?

Mason Jobst was signed as a free agent out of NCAA... I had some hopes for him, and hey, maybe he IS talented (our AHL team is abysmal so it is hard to tell sometimes who is good and who isn't) but he certainly hasn't blown anyone's hair back down in Bridgeport...

Greer is another guy I thought might be a decent 4th line agitator / grinder for us, but he really does seem to be a castoff / journeyman

so yeah, not losing much sleep over those two

 

[yianik]

Wow, buyers market

2nd. Parise waived last year!!!

Probably Beauvillier.

 

[goonybird]

very solid move for NYI and by the same token about as much as NJD could hope for.

Fully expect one of them back next year, but even if not their season is sunk and these guys are expiring.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Making him the first one ever

I think a lot of players will want to play for Trotz.

 

[MattMartin]

I was told 1st and Bode Wilde would only land us Palmieri. I didn't think so.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

For sure.

any chance he moves up to the 2nd?
not sure if he switches places between 2md or 3rd C.

 

[Machinehead]

The 1st seems rich
