Throughout his career, Palmer had been a solid stay-at-home defenseman. His passing was good, as well, which got a shot in
the arm developmentwise playing with Larry Brown while playing for the Kings.
After a couple good seasons in Los Angeles, he started seeing regular time in the minors. The Devils was his last chance (as
history would prove) at the NHL, and he got a season and a half out of it before finishing his career with the Maine Mariners in
1986.
He would go back to his alma mater, the University of Michigan, to be a graduate assistant coach for 2 seasons.
Nowadays, he also partakes in the U's alumni games, as well as alumni games for the Detroit Red Wings.
