nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted August 14, 2019 5 hours ago, krsmith17 said: So... in other words, it's not at all accurate? That was my point... Players are often compared to other players based on play style, not so much floor / ceiling. Button thinks Seider plays similarly to Carlo. From the little I've seen of Seider so far, I disagree. Button also thought Larkin played similarly to Helm, it didn't take me very long to disagree with that take either... Ya I know it’s mannheim and the German league but I haven’t seen Carlo jump into the rush and score the type of goals and plays I’ve seen seider capable of doing , I’d say he’s got much more upside than Carlo hands down I dont take every word button and others say as golden at the end of the day they’re all guessing just like All of us , only difference is they get paid for it and we don’t but how many “paid” scouts do we see get fired for not hitting on the picks? It’s fun to compare prospects to nhl players but that’s just it . Fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't go that far. I used to watch a lot more hockey. I don't have as much free time these days... I used to watch a lot of CHL games (mostly with Wings prospects), 50-60 Griffins games a season, and every Wings game. Now I barely watch anything outside of Wings games (still don't miss a single game), and maybe 10-20 Griffins games, and nothing noteworthy outside of that... 6 hours ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: But then he votes for Trudeau and is Canadian so I hate him.

ely s 457 Report post Posted August 18, 2019 I read an article which said Seider wants to get acclimatised and work out and train with Red wings players, so my guess is that he starts training on monday. does anyone here have some sort of insider who knows where and with whom he´s training?

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted August 19, 2019 One of the reasons I'm excited about Seider is I read the scouting reports and liked him, watched the footage I could find and liked him, then Yzerman drafted him high which felt extremely validating, but then, and this is this important part, I watched his interviews. The kid is gregarious and has a strong character. He was very comfortable in the spotlight despite feigning that he was nervous. The most I've seen of this from an 18 year old foreign born player maybe ever. That was the cherry on the top. Kids gonna kill. Hope he starts this year. 2 krsmith17 and 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Character above talent, that is the philosophy the coach and the GM of Adler Mannheim have and they really like him. Seider had won Yzerman over during his draft interview with him. it took more than 40 minutes which was more than double the average time of his interviews with the other teams. I´m not sure, but I believe Yzerman would have picked Seider even if Byram would have been available. He has a real strong character, will and a lot of confidence not bigheaded and very humble. Yesterday I read in his hometown paper that he has the mindset to make detroit, so fingers crossed. I haven´t found it yet, but probably someone here can get the footage of the GER-USA game in Mannheim before the WC. There you can see how he does against NHL competition and make up your mind. 1 ChristopherReevesLegs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is one thing I'll never agree with. Character is important, but never over talent. Fortunately, I believe Seider has the talent / skill to go along with the character / work ethic.

I would then prefer a guy who is less talented but gives his all every shift and Mannheim wants team first players 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
