According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.com the Anaheim Ducks have traded Kyle Palmieri to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a second round pick in the 2015 NHL draft and a third round pick in the 2016 draft.

Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reported a potential reason why the Ducks parted ways with Palmieri.
Moving Kyle Palmieri sheds $1.6M for coming 2015-16 and free up $1.467M of cap space. Murray wants room to address potential key 2016 FAs.

With free agency around the corner the Ducks may be freeing up cap space to go after a goal scorer this summer Stephens reported.
It could also free more $ up for Murray to take a bigger shot at a scorer in FA. Anyway, we’ll be trying to get him to explain it later.

Stephens also reported that Palmeri was actually on a vacation when the deal got done last night but would be tracked down in the morning and made aware of the news.
Neither Ducks nor Devils are officially announcing Kyle Palmieri trade until tomorrow. Reason? Winger is out of country. Not reachable now.

Palmeri was a first round pick of the Ducks back in the 2009 NHL draft. He has spent his entire career with the Ducks before being traded. Below are his career statistics.
