DobberHockey’s Eli Feldman posted a column discussing 5 skaters who are “multi-category” fantasy hockey stars, and Moritz Seider leads his list:
Moritz Seider, D, Detroit Red Wings
Few young defensemen have made as immediate an impact in the NHL as Moritz Seider. Since breaking into the league in 2021-2022, the Wings have leaned on Motown Seider in every situation, and he’s responded with the poise of a seasoned vet. He logs heavy minutes against top competition, matching up with opposing stars while driving play the other way.
Seider’s offensive game is as steady as they come, having recorded between 42 and 50 points in each of his four NHL seasons thus far. What makes him truly indispensable, however, is the edge with which he plays. Mo closes gaps with authority, never shying away from contact. His 212 hits ranked fifth among defensemen last season, and his 181 blocks ranked seventh.
Anchoring the Red Wings’ backend, Seider’s stellar blend of minutes, offense, and grit is pure gold in banger leagues.
Continued; Seider’s had his ups and downs, but he’s always showed up for the team (at least in my opinion). And I like the “Motown Seider” nickname.
