Well, as a pending UFA on a reasonable contract, Edmonton would surely be encouraged by New York to surrender a couple of assets. Already without a first-round selection at the upcoming 2025 NHL Draft, the Oilers would be hard-pressed to move on from their second-round choice. Therefore, the team's third-round pick would likely be on the table, and so too would one of their mid-level prospects. A return such as this would likely be welcomed by the Islanders, who could then very well re-sign Palmieri again this coming offseason as a UFA. In a seemingly never-ending search for support on their wings, adding Palmieri could prove to be a low-risk addition for the Oilers that yields a high reward.
