Nick Palmieri News

The Wild landed forwards Nick Palmieri and Stephane Veilleux, defenseman Kurtis Foster, a second round pick in 2012 and a conditional third round pick in 2013 from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for defenseman Marek Zidlicky.

Palmieri gives the Wild another NHL forward. He scored four goals and seven points in 29 games this season.

In addition to the call-up of forward Stephane Veilleux, which I reported Monday, the Devils have also called up right wing Nick Palmieri from Albany of the AHL.

Interesting to see where Palmieri slots into the lineup. He scored four goals and seven points in his first 26 games this season.

The Devils sent right wing Nick Palmieri to Albany of the AHL today.

Palmieri loses all immediate fantasy hockey value with this demotion. While there is value with the big winger playing with some skilled members of the Devils, it appears David Clarkson is quickly filling that role under new coach Pete DeBoer.
