Nico Hischier Signs 5-Year/$11.7M Extension With Devils | Instant Analysis

1. Sunny Mehta is our saviour. I already love him.

2. Why only a five-year contract, which ends when he his 32/33 – any ideas?

   Seems a bit strange from the player's standpoint.

3. "barely a person"… cute.

4. Considering all the captains on the move lately I feel like this is a bigger win than people realize. I personally would have been happy with giving Nico more.
   Also, I'm happy with the term I've said before I'd rather a guy sign for shorter term and leave than sign longer and ask for a trade half way. I'd love for Nico to stay a Devil forever but if they don't improve in 5 years I won't blame him for going.

5. I guess it was too much to hope we could have actually spent the whole time talking about how great the Captain is. Best face off guy in the NHL. Carries the team on his back but whatever on to goaltending. Cuz we're not sick of that subject and don't have tons of time to talk about it.

6. Excellent news for Devils fans

7. Honestly, id rather the cap space be spent on a top 6 forward and they roll with allen/daws in net. If you look at what former devils goalies (blackwood/wedgewood) have done on Col with a good team in front of them, i dont have Daws on a lower level than tjose guys, regardless of AHL stats behind a very bad Utica team. Wedgewood and blackwood werent amazing in NJ either behind bad teams

8. Elias Petterssons contract looking better every day. 11.7 for a second line Center is the new bench mark

9. Wish Adam would stop going off the 90s idea that a player's prime is so much later

   NHL forwards most productive years happen before 28

10. Now Sunny M, has to make a real bombshell deal to get Quinn Hughes.

11. Nico Daws

12. I would’ve paid him a bajillion dollars forever so good for sunny LGD
