What would it reasonably take?
Realistically, the ask is probably Dumoulin.

Kyle Palmieri is a top-15 RW in his prime signed for one more year at a great cap hit. If you're not giving up Dumoulin then just lock the thread and save the board some bandwidth.
That's not really a realistic ask, though, because that's pretty much a non-starter for the Pens.
Now, I get "give quality to get quality", but you also have to factor in what the team who is loading up would reasonably be willing to part with in order to add for a deep playoff run. Moving their best defensive defenseman and 20+ minute shutdown defenseman seems to go against the entire reason for adding Palmieri.

I know this is one of those Penguins fans overrating a player, but Dumoulin would honestly go for Hischer or Hall (signed) not Palms.
You could maybe argue Pettersson for Palms, but even then.
you're only going to get a bag of trash for Palmieri in a year, so here's a bag of trash *now*
Yikes no way would Dumoulin fetch a signed Hischer or Hall
I obviously like Palmieri, but that is more than a little dubious.
Probably not one for one, but a top pairing D who is basically on a sweet heart deal and has two cup rings playing top four minutes (including one as our de facto # 1) is certainly not going for a 50 pt wing who has never broken 20 ES goals.
Also, you got Hall for a worse version of Dumo.. So, weird flex.

because NHL.com is dumb it lists Palmieri as a C.
But, the list of listed RW’s that have outscored Palmieri since he was traded to the Devils is pretty small.
Kane
Kucherov
Wheeler
Giroux
Tarasenko
Pastrnak
Voracek
Stone
Atkinson
Oshie
Rakell
Rantanen
Smith (by 1 point)
Palmieri in my opinion definitely belongs in that 10-15 range.
You got Pettersson for an AHL F, so therefor if NJ offers you a player better than Sprong that means it would be weird for you to say it's not fair?
That's a totally separate argument than bringing up an irrelevant trade from several years ago.Dumoulin has been a top pairing D for four years and killing it. He is signed for less than 4.5 for years.
His value is closer to a Hischer or Hall then a Palms and I love Palms. Cornerstone top pairing D aren’t moved for dime a dozen RW wingers who put up big points on bad teams and are third line wingers on good teams.

It's still a bad take, but at least it has to do with the actual subject.
Dumo for Hall was brought up.
I am bringing up what Hall was moved for last time. Not really sure how that is irrelevant....
