His tenure with Chicago was short-lived as on June 30, 2015, he was included in the trade of [Brandon Saad](/source/Brandon_Saad) to the [Columbus Blue Jackets](/source/Columbus_Blue_Jackets) in exchange for [Jeremy Morin](/source/Jeremy_Morin), [Marko Dano](/source/Marko_Da%C5%88o), [Artem Anisimov](/source/Artem_Anisimov), [Corey Tropp](/source/Corey_Tropp) and a fourth-round draft pick in 2016.[{{cite news|last=Peters|first=Chris|title=Blackhawks trade Brandon Saad to Blue Jackets in 7-player deal|url=http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/25229473/report-blackhawks-trade-brandon-saad-to-blue-jackets|accessdate=June 30, 2015|website=CBS Sports|date=June 30, 2015}}]
After one season with the Blue Jackets and having completed his entry-level contract, Paliotta was not tendered a qualifying offer to remain with the club. As a free agent, Paliotta was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the [New York Rangers](/source/New_York_Rangers) on July 1, 2016.[{{cite web | url = http://www.blueshirtsunited.com/article/rangers-agree-terms-michael-paliotta | title = Rangers agree to terms with Michael Paliotta | publisher = [New York Rangers](/source/New_York_Rangers) | date = 2016-07-01 | accessdate = 2016-07-02 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160708142542/http://www.blueshirtsunited.com/article/rangers-agree-terms-michael-paliotta | archive-date = July 8, 2016 | url-status = dead }}] He spent the duration of the [2016–17](/source/2016-17_AHL_season) season, with AHL affiliate, the [Hartford Wolf Pack](/source/Hartford_Wolf_Pack).
On July 14, 2017, Paliotta signed as a free agent to a one-year AHL contract with the [Toronto Marlies](/source/Toronto_Marlies).[{{cite web| url = http://marlies.ca/article/paliotta-cleland-winquist-signings | title = Marlies sign Paliotta, Cleland and Winquist | publisher = [Toronto Marlies](/source/Toronto_Marlies) | date = 2017-07-14 | accessdate = 2017-07-14}}] He appeared in 8 scoreless games with the Marlies to start the [2017–18](/source/2017-18_AHL_season) season before he was traded to the [Texas Stars](/source/Texas_Stars) on January 11, 2018.[{{cite web| url = http://www.texasstars.com/news/detail/stars-acquire-michael-paliotta-from-toronto-marlies | title = Stars acquire Michael Paliotta from Toronto Marlies | publisher = [Texas Stars](/source/Texas_Stars) | date = 2018-01-11 | accessdate = 2018-01-11}}]
Paliotta went unsigned from the Texas Stars over the summer, before agreeing as a free agent to a one-year AHL contract with the [Stockton Heat](/source/Stockton_Heat), affiliate to the [Calgary Flames](/source/Calgary_Flames) on September 14, 2018.[{{cite web| url = http://stocktonheat.com/news/flames-announce-camp-roster-and-schedule/ | title = Flames announce camp roster and schedule | publisher = [Stockton Heat](/source/Stockton_Heat) | date = 2018-09-14 | accessdate = 2018-09-14}}] In the [2018–19](/source/2018-19_AHL_season) season, Pailotta recorded 4 assists in 32 games from the blueline for the Heat.
