"For me it just brings pure excitement," Palmieri said. "Obviously I had a great time and it was a lot of fun this year. With the additions we've made this summer I'm really looking forward to what the future might hold for this team."
The Devils had acquired Palmieri from the Anaheim Ducks for a second-round pick in the 2015 NHL Draft and a third-round pick in 2016 on June 29, 2015.
