He also scored two goals in five games for Germany at the 2019 World Championship. Besides the big news that I revamped the Top 100 Keeper League Goalies List (if you don’t see it yet, it’s out later on Monday), there were other things that happened of lesser importance. The 2020 Draftees are now in the template, and this is how they shake out. A dark horse to make the team out of camp, Kaski is also more likely to start in Grand Rapids while he acclimates to the North American style of game. He had a chance while in kindergarten to jump on the ice once a week, and “after a couple times, I got a little piece of paper in my stall from the hockey organization” in his hometown. The Red Wings, picking fourth, took Steve Yzerman, a highly rated player from the Ontario Hockey League.”, Again, fourth paragraph. Covering [...], Jokke Nevalainen2020-09-30T11:50:42-04:00September 30th, 2020|, On this episode of Dobber's DraftCast, hosts Tony Ferrari and Jokke Nevalainen are joined by the majority of the DobberProspects' scouting team to sort out the teams top-100 2020 NHL Draft rankings! Update #4: Of note from the live draft commentaries: Scouting report: One of the most intriguing players in this entire draft, Seider is a strong skater for such a big guy and sees the ice particularly well.
The team that drafts him might consider bringing him to North America right away and giving him a shot in the AHL. Here’s Steve Yzerman speaking with Sportsnet: Oh yeah. Update #3: Hockeybuzz’s Bob Duff weighs in: Seider had himself slotted into a ballpark area of the draft where he figured he should be prepared to hear his name called. It’s an aggresive play for me, especially since there are some questions on the offensive upside, but I know a lot of teams who were big believers in Seider. We knew Seider was on the rise, but no-one expected him to go sixth overall.
A sleeper candidate in most leagues and a must own in deep ones. Even though hockey is not taking place anywhere around the globe, the prospect rankings continue to see changes. He helped Mannheim win the league championship with five assists and a plus-6 rating in 14 playoff games. He is in an all-around offensive threat and should have no issues developing into a strong offensive d-man in the NHL.
Seider sees the game better than most, in fact, at times it seems like he knows what will happen two plays before it happens. Seider started playing hockey when he was 5. It was my first pro hockey season and we won the championship and now I’m with the national team. He can make plays at the offensive blue line and does a good job of absorbing and evading pressure in his own zone. He shows high IQ and can read plays both with the puck and without.

This good skater is going to have a long and very successful NHL career.
1 defenseman and taking someone who isn’t going to be your top man on the blue line that high is puzzling.
He’s doing his best to not only showcase those skills against some of the best players in the world, but utilize them to help Team Germany remain undefeated in the preliminary round.

Kimelman continues, with great quotes from the hulking defenseman…. He’ll be at development camp next week with the Wings’ recent draft picks. This is not an exhaustive list as it covers mostly just the prospects graduating who have a higher potential fantasy impact. …
The Wings passed up several highly rated forwards — Dylan Cozens, Trevor Zegras, Cole Caufield — and the pick reflects the lack of defensemen depth in the organization.
Bertuzzi is now an integral part of the rebuild, a top-six forward and power play guy.
Here’s more World Championship material, per NHL.com’s Aaron Vickers: Seider (6-foot-3.5, 183 pounds) missed three games of the World Championship because of an injury sustained in the round robin but had two goals in five games and averaged 13:47 of ice time per game — fifth-best among defensemen for Germany — in the tournament.
Good for you! August 31-in-31: Detroit Red Wings . © 2020 Dobber Sports Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Detroit Red Wings have been in rebuild mode for a few years now. “I want to get better every day,” Seider continued.
While the Red Wings could use absolutely everything, they took a defenseman at No.
GM Steve Yzerman is known for making gutsy picks, selecting the injured Brett Connolly at sixth-overall, the tempermental Tony DeAngelo in the top 20 and goalie in Russia in Andrei Vasilevskiy in the first round.
He can shoot, pass and he’s a very good two-way player.”.
Updated 9x at 1:10 AM Saturday: The Detroit Red Wings selected Moritz Seider with the 6th overall pick in the NHL Draft on Friday, and here’s a bunch of information about him, starting with NHL.com’s prospect profile: Seider was named Rookie of the Year in the DEL – Germany’s top men’s hockey league – in 2018-19 after the defenseman posted 2-4—6 in 29 games during the regular season and five assists in 14 postseason contests to help Mannheim capture the league championship. Yzerman told NBCSN’s Kathryn Tappen, “Ultimately what we liked is a big defenseman who can skate, who has excellent hockey sense.”. He is going to be a good one. In the playoffs he had five assists and a plus-6 rating to help Mannheim win the league championship.
Seider has been viewed as a first-round talent for almost the entire season, but now he’s very much in the conversation to be a top-15 pick. A year ago Pope was looking like a potential middle six option.
