This morning the Athletic’s Max Bultman has posted an article discussing Red Wings prospect Moritz Seider’s progress made while playing for Rogle BK of the SHL. Thus far, Rogle’s coach, Cam Abbott, tells Bultman that Seider’s played quite well:
“He’s ahead of his age as a defenseman in terms of his decision-making,” Abbott said by phone this week. “I mean, he’s got, I want to say a roundness to his game. He’s got a lot of different attributes that make him good in our league, and that will continue to make him good at the next level.”
Seider, at just 19, is now in his third professional league in three seasons. He has transitioned from the larger European ice sheet to the narrower North American one, and now back. He is also playing and living in his third country in that span.
Through all of it, though, the comments from those watching and coaching him continue to echo.
“He’s got the right attitude and he’s got the head for the game,” Abbott said. “He’s got the skating, I think (that) is very important, so it’s not a limiting factor there. So, I don’t want to blow this kid up too much, but I would venture to say it’ll be exciting to watch him play in the NHL, and the sky is the limit if he keeps working and improving.”
