Detroit – Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill was impressed by the play of defenseman Moritz Seider for Germany at the world junior championships.
But Blashill wouldn’t commit to Seider getting a taste of the NHL during the Wings’ second half of the season.
“I watched enough to see that he played very well,” said Blashill. “His development is right on cue. I don’t want to speak of the timeline, but development-wise, he’s doing a great job of keep getting better. He had more power-play time there (at world juniors) and it looked he knew what he was doing up top.
