The Toronto Sun’s Steve Simmons offers Moritz Seider quite the compliment during Simmons’ Sunday notebook:
An NHL man who has watched Victor Hedman’s entire career insists the Red Wings rookie of the year, Moritz Seider, is ahead of where Hedman happened to be at a similar age.
There is a remarkable number of game-changing NHL defenceman under the age of 25: Seider, Norris Trophy winners Cale Makar and Adam Fox, Miro Heiskanen, Quinn Hughes and still waiting for Rasmus Dahlin and Bo Byram to totally hit their marks.
Continued; Seider’s got some serious competition in terms of the plethora of capable offensively-minded young defensemen in the NHL right now. Here’s hoping that he and Makar become rivals in short order.
