Moritz Seider

22-Year-Old DefensemanD
Detroit Red Wings
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Seider hit the ground running during his rookie year, posting seven goals and 50 points en route to the Calder Trophy. He slipped to five goals and 42 points last season, but led Detroit with 190 blocked shots and 207 hits. The 22-year-old has quickly established himself as the top defender on the Red Wings as well as a valuable multi-category fantasy performer. Seider should be able to get back over the 50-point plateau in 2023-24 following the offseason addition of Alex DeBrincat, who will provide the power play of the Red Wings with a lift.

Two apples as Wings hang on

December 3, 2023
Seider provided two assists, including a power-play helper, in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.
ANALYSIS
Seider is on a three-game point streak comprised of a goal and three helpers; this also includes a power-play point in each contest. The German defenseman plays every game like it's his last, committing to 46 hits and 54 blocked shots through 23 games, but Seider is durable, as he's yet to miss a contest in his young career.

2020
Seider's Calder Trophy-winning 2021-22 campaign was one for the ages. Playing nearly the entire regular season at age 20, Seider appeared in all 82 games for Detroit, posting seven goals and 50 points. He added 187 shots on goal and averaged 23:03 of ice time per game, including a whopping 2:53 with the man advantage. To give you an idea how effective Seider was, the Red Wings were a dreadful team last season and Seider still finished with only a minus-9 rating, a remarkable number considering how much playing time he received. Detroit added a bunch of quality players this summer in hopes of lengthening their roster, so it's certainly possible Seider's production may actually increase this coming season. He isn't going to last long on draft day.
With the goal of having him play a ton of minutes against decent competition, Detroit loaned Seider to Rogle of the SHL a season ago where he proceeded to post seven goals and 28 points in 41 games. The big German has shown more offensive ability than anyone expected when he was drafted No. 6 overall in 2019, and Seider now has the look of a two-way workhorse who can contribute consistently at both ends of the rink. Seider won't turn 21 years of age until April, but he has nothing left to learn or prove in the minors and the Red Wings are going to give him every opportunity to seize a full-time role in training camp.
Seider impressed in his first season with AHL Grand Rapids, notching 22 points in 49 contests. The sixth overall pick from the 2019 draft, Seider has the potential to join the growing ranks of German stars in the NHL. The 19-year-old certainly appears to have the scoring touch to do so, and his defensive skill set isn't bad, either. He's currently on loan in Europe ahead of NHL training camps getting underway, but he'll be in the mix for a spot on the Opening Night roster. While it wouldn't be surprising to see Seider spend another year in the minors, dynasty managers will want to acquire his services -- it's now or never in such formats. He's more of a wait-and-see player in redraft leagues, but he should make an impact within the next couple of years.
