I am so thankful we have someone like Nico leading the New Jersey Devils. I hope he retires a Devil. Such a great guy.

I’m sure Fitz’s replacement will move Heaven and Earth to keep Nico
I love the fact that our captain is a complete two way player that’s reliable in Faceoffs, PP, PK, and late game situations.
I hope the next years are better and he seed a vision with us.
He’s such a beauty.
he’s the most important guy in the world
I can’t overstate how devastated I would be if this team’s leadership pushes Nico away from a lack of success. I am a Swiss dude, been a Devils fan my whole life. I own [a replica of] every jersey Nico has worn (the only player, in any sport, for whom I have a name/number jersey, because I hate how free agency moves people around). I go to the Swiss National Night game every year to meet the Swiss players (it was great when we also had Muller and Schmid for a while). I want this team to win with Nico so badly, as I think we all do.
Under competent management, Nico was absolutely a guy who could have been a cornerstone for a rebuild. Especially after being gifted a dynamic wing man like Jack two years later. This team’s management has epically fucked this up.
Did they ask him why the team is lifeless and barely trying? He’s the captain after all so it reflects poorly on his leadership
I like Nico a lot. Seems like a nice positive guy. Solid player. Never heard someone talk bad about him. But what Rupp said also rings in my ear at this point – “you need some assholes on your team.”
