The New York Post’s Michael Leboff offers betting odds for the likely winner of the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenseman this upcoming season, and here’s what he has to say about Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider:
Moritz Seider, Detroit Red Wings (500/1, FanDuel)
It’s been a funky career path for Moritz Seider.
He burst onto the scene with 50 points and a Calder Trophy in 2021-22, but his numbers have plateaued since then, and the Red Wings have struggled, causing the German to become somewhat of a forgotten man.
That’s good news for us, as Seider has drifted to a ridiculous 500/1 despite being a threat to register 60-plus points while playing more than 25 minutes a night.
If Seider hits those marks and the Wings make the playoffs, he’ll be on plenty of ballots.
Continued; I’m not a sports bettor, but Seider may yet have another gear.
