Today we’re talking again about Moritz Seider, the Detroit Red Wings top prospect drafted out of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Seider, drafted out of the Adler Mannheim of Germany in the DEL, had a really good rookie year as an 18-year-old for the Grand Rapids Griffins. However, with the uncertainty of the 2020-2021 NHL and AHL season, the idea of Seider returning to Germany for the start of next season has entered the picture.

I don't know man, I put all the "number 1 overall" energy I could muster out there in the world and we all know how that turned out. Nevertheless I was smiling right along with you that would so cool.
Seeing Stutzle at no. 4 would be AAAMMAAAZZZIIINNNGG.
In terms of Seider the DEL is fine if they are going to start up much sooner than the NHL/AHL. I am just so excited to see Seider develop.
I can see the merit of sending Seider back to Germany TBH, a young player needs ice time to develop and playing against adults in Germany ticks that box. This could be a sign that the team sees problems with the AHL next season so Seider may not be the only prospect playing in Europe next season….
I say Let Moritz make the decision as to where he wants to go or stay. He's earned it. He is highly respected here in Grand Rapids. He will carry himself like a professional where ever he goes.
Why would he go back to Grrmany? The AHL is probably a little bit a head of the DEL in talent and he can be evaluated in Detroit's farm team. Makes no sense to go back to Germany
that would be definitly an excellent topic for all europeans prospects to play earlier than in north america as a Detroit follower I'm pleased with that possibility for Seider but far more about the possible fact they could be together (with Stutzle) in the wings team 🙂
does his contract have an NHL out clause?
No sense in rushing him. Wings are a few years out from doing anything good anyway
i was wondering this yesterday, other prospects who were set to go the college route like Tuomisto, might decide to join a pro european team instead. I wouldnt be against it if it means a full year of hockey for them
as a German I'd love it cuz it would be so fun to watch, although as a non-Adler fan im also kinda scared😅
I like the idea, just concerned with him playing on a European ice again
I can see him staying and playing in Germany, sure. But will he get a chance to do so? Not sure. It depends on when we start the new season… The season has been postponed, because right now not enough people can attend games. And in Germany you need fans to finance hockey… We don't have a good TV-contract or rich owners and hockey still is a niche sport…
(But as a wild wings fan, I'm not sure whether or not I even want that🙈 It would make the derby certainly …interesting…)
Thanks for talking about my team
I wish your videos were half the time… every time I skip ahead to get to the point!!!!
It's definitely best for Moritz Seider to get some playing time with the Adler-Manheim team in Germany prior to the start of the NHL 2020-2021 season. I hope Tim Stutzle drops to Detroit at #4. I'm not expecting it, but I still hope that it happens.
none of this will matter if he has a good training camp which he will.
it doe make sense, not only for him but many other player including Lafreniere, maybe plying in Finland. the virus is low over there, bad in sweden. so I would not be surprise to see some export of our good players oversea
No way Stutzle gets past selection #3.
I would suspect if Yzerman makes an additional trip back to Europe to scout before the 2020 draft he probably is looking at Raymond as he only played about 10 minutes a game last year. Not sure of Holtz will move up the draft board.
legorocks99,
I have a great topic for you!
You could do a comparison between two 1st round pick Euro D-men who played
in the AHL last year—– Moritz Seider(6th) and Tobias Bjornfot (taken 22nd).
Compare their AHL seasons at age 18, to see who fared better.
Note: please check +/- stat, relative to their respective teams.
JMHO.
Stevie Y is going to lead us (via proxy) to glory.
The German hockey league announced today that they won't start the season until November. Mainly because it isn't financially responsible for the teams to play without or with a really small number of fans. And I think the Chl (European club competition) will beginn later too. Yes the German league and the most European leagues will probably still start the next season earlier then the leagues in North America, but you have to know that most of this leagues couldn't financially effort to play a long time without or a small number of fans in the stadiums.
Well that's kind of obvious isn't ? Seider will play wherever he (realistically) can if he can't play in America like any other young player I suppose
I think ALL prospects are going to europe if the leauges play games and NA leauges dont play games.
A prospect need to play.
