New Jersey Devils fans can breathe a sigh of relief as their top center Nico Hischier has agreed to a significant contract extension. The 23-year-old Swiss-born forward has signed a 5-year deal worth $58 million, a major commitment from the team as they look to build a winning roster. Hischier's comments that New Jersey "has been home for me" suggest a strong attachment to the Garden State, which could be a major factor in his decision to stay with the Devils long-term. With this extension, Hischier becomes one of the highest-paid players on the team, and his presence is expected to be a key factor in the Devils' push for a Stanley Cup title in the years to come.
