New Jersey Devils: 5 Things to Watch at Training Camp
By Tyler Kelley
Nico Hischier
I know this is obvious but he should get a ton of media attention at camp. His speed and overall skating ability showed at the prospect tournament, but he never made it onto the score sheet. It will benefit the Devils to showcase Hischier and give him a legitimate opportunity at a top-six role.
Recently number-one overall picks have been locks to make NHL opening day rosters, and I would imagine Nico stays with New Jersey this year. The Devils have said he’ll play center at the NHL level. It’s just about where. Brian Boyle seems like a lock for the 4th line, but the other 3 center positions are wide open.
