Palmieri moves to the top line after toiling on checking lines for a few games. The Utica, New York native scored a goal and four points over his first 13 games.

Palmieri moves off the top line after scoring a goal and three points over his first eight games this season. Expect him to drop a bit in production while playing a checking line role.
Palmieri failed to show up despite having a chance to earn playing time during training camp. The former 26th overall pick still led the Syracuse Crunch in goals last season and should be considered a top prospect. Look for him to get called up if any significant offensive player gets hurt.
No immediate fantasy hockey value while playing in the AHL.
Palmieri holds a decent chance of making the team after leading the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL in scoring last season. His breakout speed and nose for the net are only two NHL-ready qualities, the big question is playing time.
Palmieri dominated the AHL last season to the tune of 29 goals and 51 points in 62 games. If he earns a scoring role, he could potentially make an impact in mixed leagues.
