Have you seen this kid? He's like Tyler Bertuzzi + Nazi eugenics. Intelligence, mobility, size, gap-control, personality, courage, confidence, leadership, grit. This is a backbone player. A building block. As @Dabura likes to say, a tide that raises all ships.

I could not design a player like this in a lab. He has all the qualities that I like + the ones I forgot I liked. Forgive my comparison to Lidstrom, but he reeks of that steady Dman you kinda of forget about, but is secretly one of the biggest reasons you actually won cups... like Lidstrom. But then he's also violent like Konstantinov or Kronwall.
If there exists a glimmer of hope on this team it is Seider. We all know Veleno is probably going to be an okay centerman. Zadina an okay winger. Larkin an okay leader and contributor. Hronek a steady presence. But Seider has potential for greatness. I truly believe that. This is the one player we have right now who could be talked about in a lot of circles one day. That jazzes me right up to the point where I wanna coom.
