Lucas Raymond, Detroit’s other shining rookie star, was snubbed from the top three after finishing third in rookie scoring, right behind Michael Bunting and Trevor Zegras, respectively.
Moritz Seider was the cream of the crop in terms of rookie defensemen in the ‘21-’22 regular season. The 21-year-old suited up in all 82 games and posted an impressive statline of 50 points (7-43—50).
