Oh captain, my captain.
Nico Hischier became the highest-drafted Switzerland-born in National Hockey League history when the New Jersey Devils selected him as their No. 1 overall pick back in 2017. He has since delivered 422 points across eight seasons of play, including a career-high season so far of 80 points as recently as the 2022-23 season after playing in the NHL All-Star Game in 2020.
In fact, this most recent season saw him reach his career-high in goals scored with 35.
But, has he reached his ceiling?
Why Nico Hischier hasn't hit ceiling
Hischier ceiling is one of a high-end two-way first-line center, not necessarily a pure offensive superstar.
