Kyle Palmieri Reflects on Devils Trade, Islanders Success, and Championship Aspirations

AutoDraft Pro AI

Kyle Palmieri, now in his fifth full season with the New York Islanders, recently reflected on his 2021 trade from the New Jersey Devils. Ahead of the 2021 NHL Trade Deadline, Palmieri knew his future wasn't with the Devils, who were in a rebuild. He utilized his modified no-trade clause to help facilitate a move to the Islanders, citing their competitiveness and opportunity to win as primary motivators, despite being born on Long Island. The Islanders acquired Palmieri and Travis Zajac for A.J. Greer, Mason Jobst, a 2021 first-round pick, and a 2022 conditional fourth-round pick. Palmieri, who began his career with the Anaheim Ducks and signed with the Devils in 2016, has since proven tremendous value to the Islanders, overcoming early injury struggles. After two consecutive 82-game seasons, he signed a two-year, $4.75 million annual extension. This season, he has 11 points (4 goals, 7 assists) in 15 games and is currently on the top line with Bo Horvat and Emil Heineman, preparing to face his former team, the Devils.

Brayden Schenn Emerges as Top Trade Target for Winnipeg Jets Amid Blues Rebuild

AutoDraft Pro AI

St. Louis Blues captain Brayden Schenn is reportedly a prime trade target for the Winnipeg Jets, who are seeking to bolster their struggling offensive depth. With the Blues facing a challenging 5-8-3 start and GM Doug Armstrong looking to move veteran pieces, Schenn's name has frequently surfaced. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman confirmed Armstrong would need a compelling reason to trade his captain, who now has "lesser protection" on his no-trade clause compared to last season when a potential deal with Toronto to reunite with his brother Luke fell through. The 34-year-old forward, a consistent 20-goal scorer with 50-60 point upside, would alleviate pressure on the Jets' top line. Schenn brings significant experience, including a 2019 Stanley Cup, over 1,000 career games (280 goals, 411 assists), a career-high 70-point season, and has played 82 games for three consecutive seasons. The Jets, despite limited draft capital, could offer a first-round pick and a prospect like Nikita Chibrikov or Parker Ford to acquire the veteran leader.

Berkly Catton Burns First ELC Year After 10th NHL Game, Kraken Weigh Prospect's Future

AutoDraft Pro AI

Seattle Kraken prospect Berkly Catton recently completed his 10th NHL game against the Dallas Stars, a significant milestone that officially burned the first year of his entry-level contract. The 19-year-old has made a notable impact, tallying three assists and 10 shots on goal, while winning 60 percent of his faceoffs across these 10 appearances, averaging 12:11 of ice time. Catton has shown versatility, playing both as a fourth-line center and a top-line left winger, consistently displaying his puck skills and skating ability. Analytics indicate positive on-ice results, with the Kraken outscoring opponents 4-2 when Catton is on the ice, and holding 45.66 percent of expected goals and 48.57 percent of scoring chances. While he continues to acclimate to the NHL pace and coach Lane Lambert's system, the Kraken are approaching a critical decision point regarding his development. Although his ELC year is burned, sending him back to the WHL remains a possibility, though it's considered unlikely. He cannot be assigned to the AHL's Coachella Valley Firebirds unless for a conditioning stint. The team is evaluating options, including continuing to play him nightly in the NHL or loaning him to Team Canada for the World Juniors, where he could thrive as a top-line center and build confidence. The Kraken's high belief in Catton's potential is evident.
