Moritz Seider | Welcome To The NHL | The First 10 Games

Calm, collected, German. Moritz Seider was considered a 'reach' in the hockey world when Detroit's General Manager, Steve Yzerman, selected him with the team's 6th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. "He wasn't a reach on our list," replied Yzerman, and today, the league knows why.

Seider is a unique combination of size and skill. He possesses excellent straightaway speed for a big man, and he's capable of pulling off moves usually reserved for smaller, more mobile defensemen. In his own zone, efficiency is the name of the game. He doesn't seek to destroy opponents, but instead exerts just enough pressure to separate them from the puck. He's an original player who will surely become a face of the modern NHL.

NOTES:

-Eagle-eyed pedants may question the play credited as Seider's 'First Shot.' I share these concerns, as the puck does appear as though it may have been blocked in front of the net. There's no replay available, but it IS credited by the NHL as his first shot. After a long period of contemplative reflection, and in consultation with clerical authorities, I've decided to take the league's word for it and present it as such. That said, the controversy warranted mention.

-'Career predictions' weren't included in this video, as they were in Cole Sillinger's, so for the benefit of completists, I'll leave them here:

CAREER PREDICTIONS:
-Norris winner
-Stanley Cup/Conn Smythe winner
-Perennial All-Star
-Hall of Fame Odds: A veritable lock
