The New York native is a key offensive contributor for the Devils. He has posted 20+ goal seasons in the past 6 years. Also a right-wing, right-handed shot. He does lack the size that some assume the Boston Bruins are looking for.
Many more teams will be interested in Palmieri’s services for a playoff run. He is an undoubted top six player. Like Ondrej Kase, he is more of a grinding, chip away forward with a scorer’s touch. Palmieri would assumingely slot in with David Krejci and Jake DeBrusk.
Kyle Palmieri is an unrestricted free agent after the season. A handful of teams will be in discussion with New Jersey for Palmieri.
