Jul 2, 2026 · 2 min

The New Jersey Devils just locked down their captain for the long haul, signing Nico Hischier to a five-year, $58.5M extension—making him the highest-paid Devil in history. Drafted first overall in 2017, Hischier has been a franchise cornerstone since day one, and this deal signals the organization’s full commitment to his leadership and future success. With a Stanley Cup still his ultimate goal, fans are erupting on social media with “Our Captain Forever” and “Devil for Life” posts. New GM Sunny Mehta, who took over just months ago, called Hischier a top priority, praising his selfless play, leadership, and on-ice impact. Hischier, who played all 82 games last season and leads the team in power-play goals, is on track to hit 500 career points and could soon have his number in the rafters.
