Pietrangelo and Palmieri

Detroit takes that

The Blues used a package like that to get Schenn but the term was longer for both the good (Schenn) and the bad (Lehtera), and he was plugged into the top line center role. I think it's a little steep for renting Palmieri.

Plus the team is already so thin on prospects... if Alexandrov and 2 1sts are traded, there are literally zero prospects with NHL upside once Kostin and Perunovich graduate, and very slim chances of drafting any more. I think we can send Bozak somewhere for essentially nothing and they can flip him at the deadline with money retained for a decent pick - he's still a useful player.

fair enough, I admit some of these are overpayments I was mainly just seeing if the cap could work with Pietrangelo + getting a decent rental like Palmieri

I have a feeling it'll be tough to add any upgrades if Petro is extended - gonna have to figure out a way to turn over the roster with cheap options (ELCs) because Schwartz, Thomas, Binner/goalie are all gonna need raises. Crazy how tough of a spot Army put himself in right after winning the cup lol. That is, if he actually has any hopes of extending Petro...

As a Devils fan (howd ya guess?) yes I would do this and hope Palms wins a cup.
