palmieri and zajac are half retained

......

Has zajac ever played wing

Gross

Yes but he's very good at faceoffs and defensively so that's why he's center. Also Palmieri could play both wings

Yes but we have 4 centers. I’m confused where he’s going to play

3rd line wing and on the PK. He was also on our PP (but wasn't very good). At least Komarov is out of the lineup

Can he play both wings?

I think so. He hasn't played wing much but when he did, he was LW. But he's a Right shot so Im assuming he could play RW. Once the Isles lines are announced, let me know what how they turn out

I am so confused by trading for zajac. Whats your thoughts on the trade?

Islanders won the trade but it's fair for both sides. Buyer's market so Im happy we got a first for Palmieri. I would have prefered a 2nd + prospect but Ill take a first. Greer+Jobst+4th for Zajac is bad for NJ. Zajac is worth 2nd/3rd but it isn't the worst thing possible. Islanders get much deeper while the Devils get younger. Decent trade for the Devils, Great trade for the Islanders.

Even though Zajac is a center, he could play wing and I think he's there for depth and defense. At least Leo is gone now.
