The New York Islanders acquired New Jersey Devils winger Kyle Palmieri on Wednesday night, landing one of the most coveted forwards ahead of Monday's NHL trade deadline.
The Islanders acquired Palmieri, 30, and veteran center Travis Zajac, 35, from New Jersey for depth forwards A.J. Greer and Mason Jobst, the Islanders' first-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, and a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft.
The Devils retained 50% of the salaries for both players in order to make the trade work under the $81.
