Well, it’s somewhere to start from:
Whether it’s breaking up a big play, setting up a goal or scoring on the power play, some defensemen can do it all. NHL Network producers and analysts chose the top 20 defensemen in the League right now, which were revealed Wednesday in the fourth of a nine-part series. Here is the list:
20. Moritz Seider, Detroit Red Wings
Seider has not missed a game in his three NHL seasons, which included 42 points last season (nine goals, 33 assists), 17 power-play points, while leading Detroit in ice time per game (22:22) for the third straight season. The 23-year-old was also the only player to have at least 200 hits (211) and 200 blocks (212) last season. Seider won the Calder Trophy as NHL rookie of the year in 2021-22.
Continued; oh, we can argue about this one…But at this point, I’m glad that he was mentioned among the league’s best. We’ll take it and go from here.
