  • Dman. Just turned 18. 6'4", 207 lbs. Shoots right.
  • Spent his draft year playing in a men's pro league at 17 years old. Finished the season playing top 4 minutes.
  • Won the league championship with that team (5 assists in 14 playoff games)
  • Captained the German world junior team at 17 in a tourney for 19 year olds, where they earned advancement to the main group next year (1 goal and 5 assists in 5 WJ games). Named the best Dman of the tournament.
  • Plays in all situations
  • No weaknesses, but lacks elite level skill
  • Praised for poise and veteran style play
  • Like Pietrangelo, big mobile and smart

Sign me up. I'm a Seider guy.

Could be argued Seider is the best dman in the draft not named Bowen Byram.

Definitely like Seider but unless we were worried that Kenny was going to take him why not at least get a 2nd for moving back...

We say this about high picks every year. The fact that we very rarely see teams trade down from within the top ten leads me to believe it's not as easy as we think it is. I suspect it's also about committing to your guy. If he's your guy, you take him. Don't make him wait a couple more spots because you want a 5th round pick.

KRS - see how Yzerman took the smooth skating Right Handed Defenseman in front of 10 BPAs to fill a 1B D need?  We needed a Right Handed winger too, but he filled the more important NEED.  I am shocked we didnt trade back to do this, but it just doesnt happen in the NHL as much as it does in other sports.
