He has arrived.
Nico Hischier took to the ice as part of the New Jersey Devils' development camp Monday, marking the first time he's suited up with his NHL club.
The Devils selected Hischier first overall in this year's entry draft, making him the first Swiss-born player to be taken with the top pick. It bested Hischier's countryman Nino Niederreiter, who was picked fifth by the New York Islanders in 2010.
Hischier spent last season with the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL, notching 38 goals and 48 assists in 57 games.
