<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Bellows is the only prospect i could see included the trade. It’s a buyers market and bellows+2nd should be more than enough for palmieri considering that’s what it would take to acquire hall. Palmieri doesn’t have more value than hall</div></div>

You could absolutely argue Palmieri is more valuable than Hall. He's essentially half of what Hall costs, in terms of real money, in a world where teams dont want to take on money because of the current climate of the world. Hes also a better goal scorer and you can argue hes a better all around player defensively/physically, which fits how the Isles play way more than Hall does. Palmieri is likely the best rental forward on the market, and is a much better fit for the isles than Hall. Two 2nd round picks doesnt get it done, Devils want a pro ready prospect.

Thread: NJ Deadline Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>Looking to deal him? no, but they were in a lot of discussion with other teams for deal including him. As for the bolded, Palms is a UFA this off-season and if he's not in NJD's long-term plan then why would they sign him? Palms is looking for his last big contract and he's not going to sign for a few years to stay in NJD and then become a UFA again at 32-33 yr old. Lastly you can think what you'd like about Boston as a trade partner, but I can tell you NJD very much is interested in some pieces that Boston has and that's why they started talking again earlier this year.</div></div>

They werent in a lot of discussion with other teams to deal him though. Fitz openly said he wasnt shopping him or looking to trade him, but he would obviously listen if teams came calling. He also flat out said that he didnt get into any serious or deep discussions about actually moving him. He's not in the long term plans because once that team is ready to compete he'll be well out of his prime. He will absolutely re-sign for a few years in NJ when he realize that nobody will give him a huge contract on the market that he wants, and his entire life is there. NJ would gladly bring him back on a short deal because they need veterans on the team. I still stand by that Boston is the worst trade partner here, they have by far the least interesting potential returns, which is why when it comes down to it and he gets moved he wont be going to Boston. Its okay if you wanna ignore that and think your scraps are getting a trade done.

Thread: NJ Deadline Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>Well I hate to tell you this but last year the best offer NJD received for Palms was from Boston. This year the two have already talked again about a deal. So while you want to say that Boston doesn't have much to peak NJD interest, it ls just not true. Btw kind of telling NJD slapped the "C" Nico instead of Palms. You'd have thought if Palms was a long-term piece for NJD they would have given him the "C" instead.</div></div>

They werent looking to trade Palms. Fitz needed to be completely blown away by the offer to even consider moving him, and after the return he got for Coleman nobody was giving up what it would've taken to get Palm last year. Palms obviously isnt in their long term plans, i never said he was, but they still need vets for the next couple of years. And yes, i stand by what i said of Boston is the worst trade partner for the Devils here, their pieces arent good compared to essentially every other team who will be in the mix.

Thread: NJ Deadline Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>He can certainly not make a move, but Palms is a pending UFA and by the TDL they'll know if he's part of the future or not. If he's not, NJD would be dumb not to move him.</div></div>

I wouldnt say dumb. Palms has made it known he wants to stay, and wants to keep his family in NJ. So even if he is moved at the deadline, its somewhat likely he goes back in free agency after the expansion draft. Fitz would be dumb to not move him because hes arguably the best rental forward on the market and should be able to get a very good return. Hes not just going to move him for picks or a not so good prospect(like Zboril or Senyshyn who dont fit what Fitz wants). If he feels the return isnt worth it, he'll just keep Palms and re-sign him instead of giving him away for nothing. The team needs his veteran presence and shooters so it wouldnt be the worst move. The Bruins are probably the worst trade partner for the Devils right now, they dont really have much that peaks the Devils interest. Vaakanainen is the probably the only one, but hes not being moved for a rental. I see Palms going elsewhere, because someone will almost certainly beat whatever the Bruins can offer

Thread: Replacing Injured Stars
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>The Isles beat reporter on The Athletic listed those trade scenarios and his sources said wouldn't be enough
If the Devils had to protect Bellows or Wilde in expansion draft, that means losing Kuokkanen or Butcher or someone else. That doesn't make sense.</div></div>

There was also an athletic article with multiple NHL executives going over the trade deadline. NHL execs said Palmieri won't get more than a 2nd and a non top 3 prospect. They specifically said Bellows and a 2nd is his value

Didn't Devils fans just do this last year with Hall? Constantly overrated him and expected a huge return(yes they did). Instead they got a bunch of garbage and a 1st. Luckily that 1st turned into Dawson Mercer, thats the only saving grace of the Hall return
