Devils GM: We'll get Palmieri signed

Ray Shero knows at least one thing he'll be doing this summer.

The New Jersey Devils general manager is expecting to put pen to paper on a new deal for the team's leading scorer, forward Kyle Palmieri.

The 25-year-old, who was acquired last summer from Anaheim for the sum of two draft picks, is in the final season of a three-year, $4.4-million deal signed in 2013.

In 69 games with the Devils, Palmieri has 25 goals and 45 points, both team highs.
