Hischier Stays Put for Devils Future | New Jersey Devils News

Jul 1, 2026 · 1 min

Nico Hischier just locked in for the next five years on a massive $58.5M deal, signaling his full commitment to leading the Devils into their rebuild under new GM Sunny Mehta. At just 27, the captain — who led the team in goals last season with 28 — is in his prime and deeply invested in the team’s vision. Mehta called Hischier’s leadership, work ethic, and on-ice impact non-negotiable, making this signing the cornerstone of their future. With the captain secured, Mehta now turns his focus to finding a new goalie to pair with Jake Allen, after trading Jacob Markstrom. This move sets the stage for a bold, rebuilding era in Newark.
