ESPN’s Sean Allen posted a fantasy hockey column today, and while I’m bullish on one Moritz Seider, after all of two games played, I’m not sure I’d give Seider this kind of endorsement:
Moritz Seider, D, Detroit Red Wings (up 21 spots to No. 105): He’s passing all tests in the early season and looking like the Calder Trophy candidate we hoped. Seider is leading the Red Wings in power-play minutes and should be scooped up in all leagues to see where he can take this.
Continued; deep breaths, everybody. Seider is clearly a special player, but he’s going to have some ups and downs as he continues to learn how to play NHL hockey. Yes, right now it might not be a bad idea to pick him up in your fantasy league, but I’ve seen frickin’ Nicklas Lidstrom go through growing pains during his first season in the NHL. They will happen to Moritz, too.
I agree but , I would not bet that he individually will fail by any amount.
He made plays which looked like something I have not seen for a long while. Yes, Lids and Mo might have something special in common.
The kid is GOOD and his route to the NHL seems to be a positive actually not unlike many prospects from Sweden, etc
