Shocked by the pick by Steve Yzerman and the Red Wings?
So are we... but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad. Seems like Moritz Seider has some solid upside. Plus, apparently his nickname in Mannheim is The Diamond. Tough to be upset about the pick after learning that.
At the most recent World Hockey Championship, I sat with Detroit coach Jeff Blashill and watched Germany play. A forward tried to take Moritz Seider wide, but he pivoted, closed the gap effortlessly and pinned the forward against the boards.
