Red Wings Could Swing Big for Devils Center Nico Hischier

Detroit’s interest in Nico Hischier has the kind of smoke that usually means somebody in a front office is already doing the math. The Devils center is the sort of player teams chase when they want more than points - they want stability down the middle, matchup juice, and a guy who can change the way a lineup feels. For the Red Wings, this kind of swing would say a lot about where they think they are in the rebuild and how aggressively they want to act when the right name hits the market.
