Why bash on the Devils. Toronto the city and the media hasn't let Auston rest since the draft same with Edmonton/Mcdavid. I mean the Pens with Crosby and he was the number one draft pick back like in 1974 or something. Every team is extra af when it comes to that. Why be so salty with New Jersey Bc it's not some Canadian team that drafted him ? Petty LaBelles if you ask me. Enjoy your boy and your team babe !! Y'all deserve it.
I agree that Nico needs rest lol, heās going along with it gamely but he needs time to absorb the shock of getting drafted, going first overall, etc. So I think the Devils should wait a bit before they do the whole whirlwind tour of the state, take him everywhere thing.
My problem is that Iāve just been seeing so much NJ hate about how we have no fans and weāre irrelevant and how Nico isnāt dead, heās just a Devil now. We havenāt had an exciting thing happen in a while. I mean sure we went to the finals in 2012 but that was like the Oilers in 2006, a bit of a surprise after a bunch of seasons where we had first round exits. We literally havenāt made the playoffs since 2012 anyway lmao. So like the Leafs getting pumped about Auston, like the Oilers getting pumped about Connor, the Devils are using Nico to build around, both on and off the ice.
