Finally, we have the workhorse defenseman from Detroit,
Moritz Seider. Detroit was full of rookies this season as they continue their rebuild in the hopes of starting another quarter century playoff run. It was a terrible season overall for the Wings, but fellow rookie
Lucas Raymond and Seider gave Wings fans a glimpse into the future with just how good this team can become. While Raymond finished ahead of Seider for points, Seider was dominant both offensively and defensively. He was an off-the-board pick when the Wings took him 6th overall in 2019. After 2 years over seas, Seider made his debut for the Wings this year and was a top pairing defenseman right from the start. At 6'4ยป and 205 pounds he is a monster on the blue line, but can skate like he is 5'10. Not only can he skate, but his hockey IQ, playmaking abilities and his physical presence will provide the Wings with a number 1 defenseman for years to come. He amassed 50 points from the back end and did it while playing in all situations.
