Since arriving in New Jersey in the summer of 2015, one of the more consistent bright spots for the Devils has been the man from Montvale, Kyle Palmieri, who has been a consistent goal-scoring force since putting on the red and black. Last season, I wrote that the trade for Palmieri represented the inflection point between the collapse of the old Devils and the rise of the current team. Now in his fourth year on the Devils (and in year three of a very reasonable five-year contract), he is well-established as one of their most important players and foundational pieces.
