There seems to be something missing from Nico Hischier’s game.
The New Jersey Devils know that Nico Hischier is an amazing player and one that is a key piece to the future of the franchise. People who don’t follow the Devils that closely probably think he’s not that good compared to other number-one overall picks. Other number-one picks like Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid have lit the league on fire offensively since the minute they started.
