New York Islander Fan Central | 4/12/2021 05:01:00 PM |
Coburn driving down, 4-5 day quarrantine. Golyshev heading to Bridgeport after paperwork. Salo coming directly to New York when his season ends. Colin Adams/other college prospects not mentioned. Will try to sign all players here via trade, but no guarantees.

NYIFC Comments: Nice he has cup in background, but depth, likely less to offer than Hickey/AHO, but now that he's here, will play over both.
Adams apparently signed.#NYI #isles

Would be nice if Lamoriello could officially lock up Colin Adams today, not sure what college prospect signing deadline is, but it's usually 5/31 or graduation.

#NYI #isles No idea what will happen on the ice, but will support these trades win or lose now and in the future, they could not keep this going with Komarov, Johnston plus more injuries likely coming. Sometimes best trades on paper fail, but games never played on paper.

New York Acquires: Kyle Palmieri, Travis Zajac |
New York Islander Fan Central | 4/07/2021 08:48:00 PM |
Lamoriello said both players will be at morning skate on Thursday, both players happy to be coming, want to win. Sure NYI website will have his media conference later. Devils gm, Tom Fitzgerald, hoped it would be the 32nd pick because both players deserve to win the Cup.
“I know what they bring on the ice,” Islanders president and GM Lou Lamoriello, who has worked with both Zajac and Palmieri in his previous position with the Devils, said. “I know who they are as people and how well they’ll fit in the locker room. Chemistry is extremely important. Their experience, their talent, their competitiveness, especially in this division, knowing what they have to go through, brings excitement on our end.”
“When I heard that the Islanders could be an option, I couldn’t have been more excited,” Palmieri said. “As the days wore on here, there was a little bit of anxiety in terms of waiting for that call. I got that call tonight and it was really difficult to contain the excitement of joining this team.”
“It’s a bolt of energy for sure,” Zajac said. “You’re excited to come in this situation and coming to a team that just does things the right way. They know how to win. They’re tough to play against, they’re consistent. It’s exciting to be a part of that group.”
#Isles Transaction: The #Isles have acquired forwards Kyle Palmieri & Travis Zajac from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for forwards Greer, Jobst, the #Isles 1st round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft & a conditional 4th round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. 1/2 https://t.co/BaV5g2DcNN

NYIFC Comments: A lot to digest there. We know 1st was likely going to be outside the lottery picks. (or could be conditional upon making Covid Cup Playoffs) Greer/Jobst, were hardly top level prospects, and conditional pick could be contingent upon winning Covid Cup. Want to sit with this a while, but on the surface, like the trade, they clearly did not have enough, and they kept Wahlstrom, Bellows, Dal Colle, and their top prospects, and players with some apparent value in Wilde, Bolduc, and Holmstrom.
