4 years agoThe New York Islanders made a big move on Wednesday by acquiring forwards Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac from New Jersey. Forwards A.J. Greer and Mason Jobst headed in the opposite direction, along with a first round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and a conditional fourth round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. The Islanders, who are tied for the top spot in the East Division with Washington, lost Anders Lee (knee) for the season last month and needed to make a move to shore up their offense. Zajac is a very experienced center who's put up 18 points in 33 games this season and Palmieri is a winger who boasts 17 points for the year in 34 outings. The latter looks set for a much more productive finish to the season following the trade. Greer and Jobst are both AHLers who are irrelevant in fantasy hockey.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
