In Palmieri, the Devils land a scoring right-winger for a team that desperately needed one. Most of the Devils' right-wingers from last season are either already gone or will soon be when unrestricted free agency opens next week. Therefore Palmieri has a great chance of playing a significant role in New Jersey, something he did not do in Orange County.

The Ducks decided to part ways with Palmieri for future assets, so there is speculation they are planning something fairly big in the coming days to land another winger. Anaheim also has a lot of quality winger prospects, so perhaps they will replace Palmieri in-house. Either way, they clearly didn't feel he was in their plans moving forward.

Palmieri's fantasy value should be much higher now that he's on a team that needs him to score goals a lot more than the Ducks did. His fantasy stock has therefore been spiked.
