Nico Watch is on, and introductions have been made between new Devils GM Sunny Mehta and Nico Hischierâs agent. [The Hockey News] âThere was a lot of negativity surrounding (Luke Hughes) on social media, with Hughes often referred to as Thanasis Antetokounmpo â insinuating he didnât really belong and was getting special treatment because of his last name. Hughes responded after a reset during the Olympic break, dominating down the stretch. All in all, it was a fine but unspectacular campaign â but there were real positives beneath the surface. Letâs highlight a few.â [Infernal Access ($)] âFor the most part, the Devilsâ stars lived up to expectations. Jesper Bratt had another 70+ point season, produced at a 103-point pace, and Nico Hischier was Nico Hischier. It was mostly the supporting cast that brought down the Devils. Letâs look at which players had the most disappointing seasons.â [ ($)] âIn many ways, I would expect to have a bounce-back season in 2026-27.

For me, there are bigger fish to fry.â []

Some positive thoughts for each NHL team that missed the playoffs this season: [The Athletic ($)] âWe could see a rock-bottom franchise get a lifeline or a recently competitive club quickly set itself up to retool. And then thereâs the other outcome in which the Evil Empire that is the Florida Panthers follows up consecutive Stanley Cups with a lottery win.
