Devils Trade Surge & Hischier Extension | NHL News

The New Jersey Devils are in full rebuild mode under GM Sunny Mehta, pulling off a flurry of trades including Simon Nemec, Maxim Tsyplakov, and later swapping picks for Amadeus Lombardi and Declan Chisholm. Mehta’s draft strategy leaned into analytics and high-upside talent, landing Alexander Command 12th overall — a gritty, Hischier-like center — then moving up in Round 2 for Matias Vanhanen and Lavr Gashilov, followed by defenseman Nikita Shcherbakov. Meanwhile, captain Nico Hischier’s extension talks are heating up, with both sides nearing agreement on a long-term deal. And don’t forget — the Robertson trade remains alive, with the Devils holding assets to make it happen. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
