Yahoo Sports’ Stephen Psihogios offers praise for three Red Wings players, two of them eligible for the Calder Trophy, during this week’s edition of Psihogios’ “Fantasy Hockey Takeaways”:
Moritz Seider (35 percent rostered on Yahoo) has arrived: Anybody who’s flipped on a Red Wings game for even a brief moment can tell you that Moritz Seider is the real deal.
It didn’t take the 20-year-old long to supplant Nick Leddy on the top power-play unit, a role he’s earned in addition to his spot on the first defensive pairing. While logging 21:51 per game, Seider has tallied six assists in seven games, eight blocks, five hits, and three power-play points.
This offensive production shouldn’t dry up, either. While he won’t average a point-per-game for the rest of the 2021-22 campaign, he will likely finish in the 35-40 point range. In both the SHL and AHL, while playing against men, he has demonstrated an ability to be a solid contributor.
Still available in over 60 percent of Yahoo leagues, Seider is one of the best players available for fantasy managers to snatch up on the waiver wire.
Continued with praise for Thomas Greiss and Lucas Raymond…
It’s funny how the author says Detroit has a “respectable 4-2-1 start”, meanwhile the Rangers are off to a “strong 4-2-1 start”.
It.doesnt bother me but shows the Wings have a ways to go to get respect back after the last few years.
