It’s the perfect acquisition for the Avs, but a 1st probably has to go to NJ. They got one for Coleman, so I doubt they settle for less as Palmieri is the superior player

Don't think you even move the needle on Palmieri without a 1st rounder at the very least. Guy was on pace for 32 goals, and I don't really see a reason for NJD to trade him. Probably going to be their captain at some point.

If the conditionals are assessed based on Palmieri's production in 20/21 (i.e. in the 2021 offseason), how are you going to give them draft picks from 2020?

In general I think the idea is nice, but I don't think NJ would agree to a trade with so many conditions. They'd rather just get a 1st outright I would think.

Also, I wouldn't necessarily view Burakovsky as a playmaker on that line as he's more of a shooter/trigger man himself. A playmaker like Palat or Tatar would be the ideal fit on that line rather than a sniper, though I would still certainly welcome a player like Palmieri as well.

Thats a s#!tty offer.
