Roughly Translated: Moritz Seider speaks with Hockeynews.se

Red Wings prospect Moritz Seider spoke with Hockeynews.se’s Mattias Persson today regarding his situation playing with Rogle BK of the SHL as an alternative to waiting for the German league to start up. What follows is roughly translated from Swedish:

Moritz Seider: “It’s the prfect solution to preapre me for the NHL”

He is seen as one of the Detroit Red Wings’ biggest hopes for the future, and he is expected to be an up-and-coming big defenseman in the NHL.

But first, 19-year-old Moritz Seider will make an impression in the SHL and Rögle.

“I think I’m getting the the best possible preparation here, he says to HockeyNews.se.

Prospect round-up: As coronavirus wreaks havoc with European leagues, Wallinder, Niederbach shine in the Swedish J20 league

Of European prospect-related note this morning:

In the ICE Hockey League, the game between Jesper Eliasson’s Red Bulls Salzburg and the Bratislava Capitals was cancelled due to coronavirus issues…

Just as last night’s BCHL game between Kienan Draper’s Chilliwack Chiefs and the Surrey Eagles was postponed due to a positive test on Surrey…

And no Red Wings prospects play on Linkopings HC, but Aftonbladet reports that the SHL team has been struck by at least 20 coronavirus cases, which will affect upcoming games vs. Red Wings prospects;

In actual hockey news, in the Swedish J20 league, William Wallinder registered a goal and an assist as MODO Hockey won 7-5 over Mora IK;

And Theodor Niederbach had a goal and 3 assists in the Frolunda Indians’ 5-4 win over Vaxjo. Niederbach has 9 goals and 17 assists for 26 points registered over the course of 15 games played for Frolunda’s J20 team;

Tweet of note: to ‘arb’ we go

From Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman:

Told no settlement between DET and Tyler Bertuzzi. As per new rules, there cannot be one after the hearing begins.— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) October 25, 2020

The arbitration hearing between the Detroit Red Wings and Tyler Bertuzzi is currently ongoing – it started at 9am ET.

As a reminder, the Red Wings filed for $3.15M and the player filed for $4.25M. https://t.co/BnmUVKdI4j— David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) October 25, 2020

It appears that the Red Wings and Tyler Bertuzzi are going to salary arbitration on Sunday morning(?)

I spent my Saturday working in shifts, starting at 9 AM, covering the exploits of the Red Wings’ European-playing prospects, and then watching Twitter for news regarding Tyler Bertuzzi’s imminent arbitration hearing with the Red Wings.

I did not assume that Bertuzzi and his agent, Todd Reynolds of Uptown Hockey (per PuckPedia), would actually get to the point that they’d head to a Zoom-facilitated arbitration hearing against the Red Wings tomorrow at 9 AM, but as of Saturday at 10:30 PM, it appears that the Bertuzzi and the Wings will be presenting briefs to support their arbitration “asks” unless there’s a contractual agreement in the next 11 hours.

Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported both sides’ positions on Thursday:

New York Post’s Brooks offers details of possible training camp scenarios

The New York Post’s Larry Brooks spoke with a source regarding yesterday’s NHL General Managers’ conference call, and Brooks’ source reports this regarding the shape of training camp for the 2020-2021 season–and he adds a note regarding the NHL’s not-playoff teams (like the Red Wings):

Training camp would be 14 days and include a maximum of 35 players (skaters plus goaltenders).

A nine-day conditioning camp including up to 35 players (skaters and goaltenders) for draft selections, entry-level players and tryouts, may be scheduled prior to camp. Players participating in conditioning camp must also be invited to the main camp.

The seven clubs that did not make the 24-team summer tournament, and thus have not been on the ice since the mid-March pause of the 2019-20 season, will be granted an additional week-to-10 days of camp.

The plan is to play three or four exhibition games per team.
