Kyle Palmieri will be back with the New York Islanders for another four years. The 2021 trade deadline acquisition and former New Jersey Devils player re-upped with the Isles this summer on a $20 million contract.

And while we still don’t know for sure where he’ll play next season, it’s easy to speculate that the 30-year-old will certainly see some time on the top line with Mathew Barzal and Anders Lee.
