They're both 27, both have an 8 team no trade list, and have nearly identical Cap Hits. Palmieri has one extra year on his contract.
Defence-men usually return more than wingers, so perhaps the Devils might have to add a little, maybe the return of Calgary's 2018 5th round pick (originally traded to Arizona for Michael Stone)?

I'd think the Flames may have to add. Palmieri is a legit #1 RW, and the Devil's 3rd or 4th best player. After Palmieri, their RW depth is really weak, so moving him would leave a gaping hole in their roster. He's also a coach's favourite, and very popular with the fans as a local boy.
But I do agree that a deal with Brodie and Palmieri as the principals is realistic.
