As a hockey Fan from Mannheim.. I clearly remember Seider's rookie Season in Mannnheim and during that season.. visiting a road game in Schwenningen as a Fan. and all of a sudden i'm on my way to get another beer and all of a sudden Yzerman stands a couple of feet away from me.. At that time still in service of Tampa (Possibly trying to scout potential late 1st round draft picks) ... But I remember staying up during the night to watch the draft from germany... and when Yzerman walked up the stairs I remembered seeing him scout Seider in Person... And when he actually called his name... my mind was blown! :D

Stevie "Y" spent his entire career watching the best defenceman hone his skills, in Lidstrom. Yzerman is a thinker and this was just his hockey IQ showing up the GM's and scouts less capable of his uncanny instincts. Tampa was pretty much build from this ability and now Detroit is about to roll too!

[@Ibetrolling1337]

100% Playing with one of the best D men all time translates in to seeing potential in others. Seider was dominant absolutely munching people

[@crykamikaze]

Yserman played with the best defenders at that time: Lidstrom, Konstantinov, Fetisov, Coffey, Murphy, Chelios. Stevie's choice was based not only on the experience of one player, but of a whole generation of brilliant players and masters of their role.

[@williamwilliam728]

Anything before that is too early. Not everyone is Matthews, McDavid, Crosby, etc. A guy like Valeri Nichushkin didn't actually blossom until 25-27 with Colorado, because Dallas was just an awful environment for him, clearly.

[@SunnyVale420]

Same here

[@Katie-hb8iq]

You can't predict how good a player is by their draft order. There is too many busts in the top 10 picks, and we already know several round 2-6 players have actually become super stars. People need to learn to judge a rookie in year 4 or 5, not year 1-3 or even prior to that. Even if a rookie is terrible in X years for one team, they could completely change with another team. Valeri Nichushkin is a good example of this. Dallas was just not the team for him - it wasted so many years for him.

[@philz.1521]

He played in the German hockey division for quite a while, and he was undoubtably one of the best in the league. Ofcourse the German hockey league is not one of the best, but he wasnt really a rookie who only played junior and has to get used to the physicality in a mens league.

[@kennethrussell1320]

Yzerman had been INCREDIBLE the past 3 years. Seider was a leadoff home run, for sure, but rounds 2 through 6 are looking REALLY good too!

[@financecarter]

It was leaked at some point that Montreal had him at the top of their board by pick 5. Confirming he would’ve been gone at 15 at the latest. Which shows it was the right move and that at least one other team was just as high on him.

He no doubt would have been discussing upcoming draft picks with other Red Wings staff, who would then know that Holland was interested in Seider.

There really was no way for them to erase their memories of their recent conversations with Holland.

[@jeremykraenzlein5975]

@@dwaynethewokjohnson7773 There are a lot of things that we all wish had gone differently. As a Detroit fan who still reflexively roots against Colorado, I wish that this year's Western Conference Finals could have had a different result. One thing to keep in mind is that when discussing prospects with his scouting staff in 2017, 2018, and early 2019, Holland had no idea that he would be leaving soon. Even when Yzerman was hired in April 2019, the original plan was for Holland to stay on as assistant GM. That was all announced and ready to go, and Yzerman and Holland worked together on the Red Wings off-season for a month. Then we were all surprised when Holland abruptly announced "Change of plans: I'm going to Edmonton". He subsequently said that he was surprised himself how quickly he missed being the top guy making the final decisions. Also, while Holland has gotten a lot of criticism for some of his calls in recent years, he had a lot of success before that. He became GM in 1997 as Detroit had just become the champion, but then abruptly lost another awesome defenseman. Vladimir Konstantinov was still under contract for one more year, but his career was suddenly ended by a tragic limo accident. Holland immediately had the job of building the next year's team to fill in the gap of the missing all-star defenseman, and he did well enough as shown by the team's repeat the next year. He would later also build the championship teams of 2002 and 2008.

Same logic goes to Caul Caufield dropping to #15, people will always find reasons to doubt. Players are just drafted too young in the NHL, since barely 1 or 2 play their first year, they should seriously delay the draft year until players are 19 year old instead of 18.

1. Hughes. MTL taking Slafkovsky and missing out on Johnny Hockey isn't making me scream 100 pts. He'll still put 80 pts on a lackluster Devils team, and he'll need the right supporting cast. 2. Kakko has been ruined by David Quinn and injuries and being overshadowed by Panarin, Kreids, and Zibanejad. If he plays 82 games this year, I think he'll put up 50 pts comfortably. 3. Dach. Being with Suzuki, Slafkovsky, Caufield, and Anderson who he can pass the puck to, he'll have a breakout season. 4. Byram. He has a cup. Nothing else to mention 5. Turcotte. Too hard to judge based on 8 games. In a redraft, I'd take Seider in the top 3 minimum.

Dach spent three years passing the puck to Kane and DeBrincat, who are both miles better than anyone on the Canadiens, and he was HORRIFIC in that role. He’s not going to breakout going to an even worse team than the hawks.

First, we do have to remember these guys are still 21 or so, which means all these players could blow up more in coming seasons. As an Av fan, have to say it, Byram might have challenged Seider for Calder if not got concussions & that PP time is eaten up by Makar & Towes. If he play like he does in playoffs, Seider & Byram will be the top two players from 2019 draft. But, actually, I wanted Avs to go Seider at 4. Should be a fun future. Though before you say he's getting multiple Norris, have to say that there have never been as many great young Ds than currently play right now. Hope Seider stays healthy his whole career.

I think it's funny how people point out how people laughed about that pick way to early, but are now also way too early to praise the pick. Seider had an amazing rookie season, that's all so far. There are many players from this draft who do have the potential to break out and have a much better career than Seider. Seider would not be the first guy coming over from Europe with a pretty impressive rookie season and then developing much slower than other guys. Already having played against grown men in Europe simply makes it easier to adjust to the higher level of physicality compared to guys who played junior or college hockey before.

Why does Slafkovsky sound like he’s the next Kakko same team tps Turku both compared to jagr

[@sheaandrus-oak6546]

Hind sight is always 20/20 unless your yazerman he has future site lol

[@wild_insomnia]

come on,guys ,you are already making a new Paul Coffey or Lidstrom of this guy.Come on !

[@crykamikaze]

Nah, he's a new Vladdy, Moritz and Lucas duo is the best forward-defenceman pair since Fedorov and Konstantinov play.

[@almostawesome5934]

Byrams game is going to take longer but he also had to come up on an Exponentially better team and he has a way more polished offense and puck moving game then seider.

[@almostawesome5934]

Idk hot takes be hot takes let’s see him play well more then one year on a bad team

[@finneich5105]

You could use the better team as in argument in the other direction as well ist easier 2 play with good teammates it's harder to make the team yea but it's easier to make plays and have good stats if everyone around you is good

[@almostawesome5934]

@@finneich5105 i guess but Bo looked good on his own and made his own plays on the biggest stage and held the cup. To your point if Seider was on the avs I guarantee he has similar development if not worse

[@Georgie_4E4]

@@almostawesome5934Byram got lucky the Av’s were done rebuilding. He gets a concussion when he puts his helmet on. Huge no thanks

[@wketchin]

Where are they now? Devils, Rangers, Blackhawks, Avs, & Kings.

[@cartergoetz5693]

I still think Bo will be a beast. Maybe not better than Mo, but he'll still be an elite Dman

[@Georgie_4E4]

Not if he keeps getting concussions putting his helmet on…

[@cammackinnon]

Love how everyone (including myself) questioned this pick when it was made. And now everyone is asking why he was taken so low.

[@andreprefontaine3824]

we should always thrust Stevie!

[@danieltokar7404]

That's because you only know about American hockey

[@Semaj2326]

Hughes is gonna be the best player from that draft.

[@moappleseider1699]

I think we still would have got him 10-12th overall.

[@rickwhyers6836]

Why would anyone bet against Yzerman at this point?

[@L0gravity]

Scott Wheeler is crying, throwing up that this video isn’t about Hughes or Zegras

[@t-fly8132]

Byram definitely looks like he’ll be the best player in this draft barring concussion issues.

[@Georgie_4E4]

Lol

[@mr.devil9577]

Everyone except the Devils took an L passing on Seider

[@Mdrobile]

GO DEVILS

[@dsc4178]

The lockdown era made so many things worse. Concussions aren't the real problem Byram had.

[@MichaelC-no8dx]

2019 why wasnt he drafted 15+ 2022 why wasnt he drafted first

[@evang7954]

bro. no one passed on him. in fact for his draft position he was considered a reach. BS

[@p3t3ymac96]

I mean if jack hughes decided to play a year at college he would of never seen a “down year”. Wouldn’t knock him for taking the hardest and most challenging route to the nhl. Still not sold on the idea that seider is better then jack Hughes but time will tell.

[@andreprefontaine3824]

need to bulk up a bit

[@Georgie_4E4]

He’s not necessarily a “better player”…one’s a Forward ones a Defenseman, but I will say the Red Wings win a Cup before the Devils, Seider will have more of an impact than Hughes…

@@Georgie_4E4 that’s a bold take after this past season.

Why would you dump on Michael Bunting and signal him out like that? Like what kind of bullshit is that? Just list his name like everyone else you listed. There was no reason to signal him out like he didn't matter. He has 2x as many votes as Raymond and he actually led in points and was #2 in both goals and assists. That's so unprofessional. And before people say it's because he played with Marner and Matthews, he was getting points on every line he played on, and as we saw with Nick Ritchie, playing with Matthews and Marner is no guarantee you will be a 60-point player. Regardless of age, Bunting qualified and he deserves respect for his accomplishment. And yes, he does even if you hate the Leafs too, which just makes these content creators chilish. He was 3rd in Calder voting - say his fucking name.

[@RobTalksHockey]

It was a joke. I’m a fan of Bunting. But I do believe Calder age should be lowered, but that’s not his problem

Rob don't you remember the bruins messing up with 3 1st rounders
