106. . RW. New York Islanders. Kyle Palmieri. 21. player

Kyle Palmieri would be a great addition to the Chicago Blackhawks top-six.

Kyle Palmieri has had a very interesting season this year. He started off with the New Jersey Devils before making his way to the New York Islanders via a trade. He wasn’t playing very well with the Devils but he found some magic with the Islanders once the playoffs rolled around. For a while, it looked like a move that could push that team over the edge.

Palmieri is a very good player. You can expect him to score 25-30 goals in any given full season. If he came to a team like the Blackhawks who like to trade chances, he could find the back of the net even more than usual. He is well known for having a fantastic shot which leads to goals. He is also more than capable of making some sweet plays for teammates.

Another part of Palmieri’s game that is very underrated is his ability in the defensive zone. He is super tough to play against so he makes any line that he is on better in all three zones. If he came to play for Chicago he would make sense on a line with Patrick Kane who is a phenomenal passer of the puck. Anywhere in the top six and on the top power-play unit would make a lot of sense for Palmieri and the Blackhawks.
