Nico Hischier Was Not At-Fault For The Devils' Struggles...His Leadership & Impact Was Important

Obviously, this season didn't go according to plan for the New Jersey Devils. It led to a lot of people questioning Nico Hischier's leadership as a captain. Not only is Hischier a good leader but his impact was also felt. People should leave him alone because he actually had a productive season. Especially considering the fact that he missed nearly a month of action at one point.

🙌. Not really sure what more to expect from the captain.

I’d rather have Nico in the lineup over Jack. Yeah I said it. For every point the Hughes brothers scored this year, they gave up at least a goal.

I think a lot of it comes down to him not being a concencus #1OA/best player on the team type of player. People always seem to underrate him as a result. Personally I think Nico is the ideal captain and I am thrilled we have him on our team and that we picked him #1OA all those years ago

Of all the options the Devils currently have, its Nico. You need to pair him though with a strict coach that will hold the team accountable. Nico , in time, could get to that level to drive accountability, but he needs to achieve winning on a big level 1st before he earns that role.

Devils fans are bipolar. If the team isn’t performing they turn into an angry mob and call for heads. For example Timo Meier. It’s annoying.

Hughes got to get his defense and faceoffs together, then Hischier can concentrate more on himself as well. Hischier was just there to fill all the freaking holes this season.

I do think there’s a locker room shift going on

I dont think anyone is putting anything that happened this year on nico's shoulders. They're simply questioning the C on his jersey, which in my opinion is debatable. I just wish he was more vocal and angry, and didn't look miserable after loses. I saw a glimpse of this when Bratt missed a few grade a changes close in front of the net, and nico slammed the bench in frustration with bratt sitting next to him. No doubt he is one of the most consistent players on the ice, but at this point in time with so many things needed to be fixed in the off season, moving the captaincy likely wont have a huge effect unless you move a player here that clearly is captain material, then you rip that A of palat and give it to nico.

How much Hischier paid you for this episode? Nico leads by example?😂 What example? He is Captain Turtle!!! Nobody questions his stats. Lol. But he is not a Leader. A leader who is backing down from a fight. Maybe this is what leading by example means. He is a good two-way centre. Nothing more. You need to be a leader on the ice, not in the locker room

Selke finalist, but sure just a good two way player. You know hockey...not. Just admit you never even watched a game.
