Give Moritz Seider The Calder

from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,

Prediction: Seider. To do what he did largely at age 20 (he turned 21 April 6) as a defenseman is phenomenal. Seider had poise with the puck, didn't back down physically (remember when he got in Sidney Crosby's face during a game in January), and played in all situations. No matter how much was asked of him, he delivered. Zegras (who turned 21 in March) had the goal-scoring highlights, but excelling as a young forward isn't the same challenge as excelling as a young defenseman.
