TSN’s Travis Yost continues to rank every NHL team on a position-by-position basis, and he somehow ranks the Red Wings’ blueline as “under-performing,” though he offers praise for the Red Wings’ best defenseman:
Detroit: Another group with plenty of upside, like Buffalo. Mo Seider was well deserving of last year’s Calder Trophy in a tough environment. It will be fascinating to see what Seider’s puck movement and awareness can do on a team with more attacking threats up top.
Continued; according to Yost, the Red Wings’ defense consists of Ben Chiarot, Moritz Seider, Olli Maatta, Filip Hronek, Jordan Oesterle and Gustav Lindstrom. I’m not sure whether things are going to shake out that way in training camp.
