ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski has posted his “fantasy hockey cheat sheet” as an ESPN+ article, and he’s picking one Red Wings player for his team:
Moritz Seider, D, Detroit Red Wings: He’s got name recognition after that Calder Trophy win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there aren’t some fantasy managers that don’t quite know how great Seider was across the board. His 50 points tied him for 19th in the league among defensemen. Ditto his 187 shots on goal. If hits are rewarded in your league, he was just outside the top 30 with 151 collisions. He also picked up two shorthanded points. But the number we really liked: 21 power-play points. That ranked him 10th among defensemen, and that’s before the Red Wings added players like David Perron and Andrew Copp to the roster. No sophomore slump here.
