The New Jersey Devils have been in the headlines for a majority of the offseason. Between a huge trade for Marcus Johansson, another Ilya Kovalchuk saga and Nico Hischier taking his first ice time in the Garden State, that’s all Devils fans could talk about.
When the Devils chose Hischier first overall in this year’s NHL Draft, fans couldn’t help but think of the possibilities. His speed would mix with some of the other young Devils that will crack the lineup. Whether it’s Miles Wood or Michael McLeod or Pavel Zacha, Hischier will fit in well. Many fans want Hischier to skyrocket to the top line, playing with Taylor Hall and Kyle Palmieri.
