TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button has Halifax Mooseheads pivot Nico Hischier going first overall to the New Jersey Devils in the latest version of the TSN Hockey Mock Draft.
Hischier’s steady play with the Mooseheads (38 goals, 48 assists in 57 games) and a strong showing at the World Juniors helped vault him past Brandon Wheat Kings centre Nolan Patrick, who has long been considered the top prospect available in this class.
I’m posting this before Game 6 between the Pens and the Sens. Of course, feel free to discuss that in the comments.
