The New Jersey Devils know what they have in Nico Hischier. They took him with the first overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. He’s set to be one of the core pieces on the team for a long time. We’ve seen the points starting to come for him. They weren’t there as much in the early part of the season, but he has taken command of the team since they traded Taylor Hall.
Kyle Palmieri was originally selected to be the Devils All-Star and Hischier was a nominee to be the “Last Man In”.
