ESPN’s Victoria Mataiash discusses fantasy hockey draft strategies for picking up the best offensive defensemen one can in one’s fantasy hockey league, and she mentions one Red Wings defenseman–an obvious one–as a top-tier defender to snag off the bat in your fantasy draft:
Moritz Seider, Detroit Red Wings (No. 4 defenseman)
I can’t wait to see what this Sophomore does for an encore following his Calder-winning rookie season. Averaging 23 minutes/game, the sixth-overall draft selection (2019) potted 50 points on 187 shots, while blocking another 161 and throwing 151 hits through all of 82 games. Seider also led the Red Wings in power-play points (21) in anchoring a top unit that will be better this round, now that Lucas Raymond is more seasoned, and former Blues forward David Perron joins the special teams fray. Again, can’t wait.
