One of the few common threads with the New Jersey Devils over the past four-plus decades is that one rarely knows when a move is made until it is made. This evening, General Manager Tom Fitzgerald pulled a trigger on a big trade. Now we know the move. The New Jersey Devils sent Kyle Palmieri
and Travis Zajac to the New York Islanders for their first round pick in 2021, a conditional fourth round pick in 2022, left wing A.J. Greer, and forward Mason Jobst. As announced by the Devils, New Jersey will retain 50% of the remaining salaries of Zajac and Palmieri.

On Wednesday, general manager Tom Fitzgeraldtraded forwards Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac to the New York Islanders. Both players are on board with the move, according to ESPN.
Palmieri:
“It’s been a bit of a crazy week, starting with the scratch Sunday,” said Palmieri, who did not play this week for New Jersey while talks were occurring. “When I heard the Islanders were an option, I couldn’t have been more excited. Little bit of anxiety waiting for that call, but difficult to contain my excitement.”
