Summary
The New Jersey Devils just locked up captain Nico Hischier with a massive five-year extension worth $11.7M annually, keeping him through 2032. Drafted first overall in 2017, Hischier has been a cornerstone since becoming captain in 2021, delivering elite two-way play and faceoff dominance—last season he was the only center to hit 900+ faceoffs. Even in a down year, he tallied 28 goals and 66 points, proving his value. This deal, set to start in 2027, aligns with the team’s strategy to retain core talent and build sustained success alongside stars like Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt.
