New Jersey Devils: Jack Hughes Impact On Nico Hischier, Taylor Hall Contracts

The New Jersey Devils will likely select Jack Hughes with the first-overall pick in the NHL Draft. Will this change how they negotiate contracts this season?

All season long, New Jersey Devils fans talked about, heard about, couldn’t get away from speculation that Taylor Hall might not re-sign with the team once July 1st comes around. This wasn’t because he’s an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year. No, actually he has a full year left on his deal. However, after what we saw happen to the New York Islanders with John Tavares (they got better, so maybe this doesn’t work as well anymore), Devils fans are worried.

Well, one would think with hockey over for the Devils, this speculation…
