Three things: Praise for the Wings’ blueline, a would-be Hall of Fame candidate, and a limited edition Moritz Seider bobblehead

Of short Red Wings-related note this evening:

  1. The Red Wings retweeted this short video from the NHL Network, whose Mike Rupp and Tony Luftman are bullish on the Red Wings (eventual) defensive dominance:

2. CBS Sports’ Chris Bengel wrote an article attempting to handicap each and every one of the NHL’s teams’ potential Hall of Fame candidates, and he made an obvious pick:

Detroit Red Wings: Moritz Seider (D)

Current Hall of Fame “lock”: No

Seider started off his NHL career by winning the Calder Trophy this year.

In his rookie campaign, Seider tallied 50 points (seven goals & 43 assists) and became just the fifth defenseman to win the Calder Trophy in the past 20 years. 

He obviously has a long way to go in his career, but producing an award-winning season in his first professional year certainly sets the bar high.

Maybe one day!

3. Speaking of Seider, PennLive.com’s Deb Kiner reports the following:

FOCO today released four new bobbleheads that feature National Hockey League award winners from last year.

Players available are Auston Matthews, Igor Shesterkin, Moritz Seider, and recent Stanley Cup Champion Cale Makar.

Each bobblehead features the player in an action pose atop a thematic trophy base. Their names are displayed in front next to their respective team logos. The bobbles are limited to 322 units, stand at 8-inches in tall and sell for $80. They will ship no later than Feb. 3, 2023.

If you want to spend $80 on a Moritz Seider bobblehead which includes a little replica of the Calder Trophy, here you go.
