Prospect Info: #1 Nico Hischier (C): "I love to hockey" Update: Signed. Will wear #13

[Hictor Vedman*]

Called it. This kid has so much skill!! I'm so happy we took him. This kid is going to be that electric player we haven't had in 5 years. Love it!!

Nico should be the most electric player NJ's ever had.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Don't forget this Nico

I'm bumping this Gif. It seems extremely exploitable.

Nicos meme. It's a thing. Don't fight it, just accept it:

No, i wont. I will probably just block people who use if it gets out of hand.

Fair enough. People have a strange hatred for anime that I have yet to fully understand. That said, that anime was awful and I'd understand hating that particular one. It's just a bit of fun since her name is Nico as well.

Alexander Mogilny
Ilya Kovalchuk

But in general, I hope you're right.

Don't hate Anime, i even read Manga. Just find it weird people want to associate a little girl with our franchise center

 

[BenedictGomez]

flyers fans are ALREADY starting **** about his "not wanting to be in NJ" comment (if you want to call it that)

I'd combat that with his apparently, "not wanting to be appearing to have any personality" (if you want to call it that).

No doubt that was, and will likely always be, Kovalchuk.

What's funny is that, in the show, she is the same age as Nico.

Patrick turns it over, Nico scores.

If Moztsko is even half correct, the devils got a great player.

And then bam — he saw him. Hischier was coming, and at full force.

"I'll be honest, I didn't know him at all outside of the name," Motzko said this week in a phone interview with CSNPhilly.com.

"When we were getting ready to play that game and breaking film down, and then being on the bench — he was electric. He was a player that could change the game any minute."

"When you're in that tournament, you're seeing a lot of the future stars in the NHL," Motzko said. "There's no question, if you're a player in that tournament that's making an impact like he did, you're seeing a potential future star. That's the best of the under-20 in the world, outside of a handful of the guys in the National Hockey League. That young man has one bright future in front him."

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Really hoping he gets #18

 

[Emperoreddy]

NBC's comparisons don't mean much, but seeing them compare Nico to Datsyuk and Patrick to Eric Staal made this almost seem like we dodged a bullet.

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

its hard to be unhappy. and I am happy. Was pulling for Patrick. I think the injury concerns were overblown. But i guess it comes down to preference. Different styles. Hall + Mcleod + Hischier looks pretty sweet

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Also didn't realize how much taller he was than everyone else on the stage.

Kid is 6'1" not a small one.

He needs to put some muscle weight on, but there is plenty of time for that. He is still young.

yea

 

[ghdi]

eh i think thats a clickbait and anyone who wants to get offended will get offended.

i mean, what do you want him to say? "nah i really wanted the devils to pick me at #1"

Doesn't matter. He still said it and he's a dirty Phailure now. Hope we smash him.

He looks taller than that in this picture... though the hat can be deceptive I suppose. Shero is 6'0".

HHH line. Time to play the GAME

 

[Devils Army]
