Devils’ Nico Hischier Extension Looks Like The Easy Call

New Jersey has a captain in Nico Hischier, and this feels like the sort of decision that should not require a whiteboard full of debate. The bigger question is not whether he matters, but how quickly the Devils move before the market gets any louder around him. Front offices love to talk about timing like it is an art form, but sometimes the cleanest move is also the obvious one. This is one of those situations where hesitation could cost more than the contract itself.
