LOL Leafs! how does one even evaluate how competent their defense is in that dumpster-fire of a division? seriously though, great article Todd - very prescient, and nice to hear an opinion from someone in a Front Office.
here's to hoping that Fitz can bring something back above the currently considered market value. He certainly seemed to do so last year with Greene and Coleman. I could see a bidding war for Palms this year.
Todd, would you be interested in Liljegren if we could get him?
Not sure why we would ever want Kerfoot back considering we had his rights and he refused to sign with us. F' em.
Devils need some Right handed D prospects - adding a 2nd/3rd round pick to palms and trying to get Liljegren would be ideal but taking a stab at Bode Wilde wouldn't be a bad move, both could get playing time as a third pairing D this season and fit the devils youth timeline
Tough hearing that these kinds of returns are all they can hope for. This was one front office person's opinion, but it doesn't sound like there are going to be teams looking to throw a crazy contract at him, especially since the league is going to be shaking off covid effects for at least another year. Gives me hope that maybe he's brought back on a deal which is a lot more team friendly than would be expected.
I would agree. Love Palms and want him to get paid but if they can take advantage of the market conditions and bring him back at a reasonable price/term then I'm all for it.

So... Palms and a third for Amirov :)

Deep down, we know Lou’s #1 target is Zajac and that he doesn’t give an F 5 years from now.
Palms and Zajac for 1st and Avs 2nd.
Maybe we have to take something bad back.
What do you think is a reasonable ask for Palmieri from Toronto? Liljegren and a mid round pick (2nd-4th rounder?)

I'd be down for trading him then bringing him back for, say, 3 years. Anything more and I'd be extremely concerned

Hoping Palms goes with another player to up his value. Like Palms/Zajac or Palms/Vatanen
