The Hockey News’s Stefan Rubino discusses six fantasy hockey defensemen who he believes “must be rostered in banger leagues” for their multiple statistical category dominance:
Moritz Seider, Red Wings
2022-2023 Stats: 82 GP, 5 G-37 A-42 Pts, +14, 42 PIM, 140 Shots, 207 Hits, 190 Blocks
Entering his third season, Seider has cemented himself as part of the Red Wings offense and become a menace on the physical side of the game. He’s recorded over 150 hits, 150 blocks and 140 shots on goal in each of his first two seasons, and his game continues to grow.
Despite finishing with a lower point production in his sophomore year, the additions of Alex DeBrincat and J.T. Compher could see Seider set new highs. Combined with his physical play thanks to his big frame, we could potentially see him return to top-ten status.
