The last piece of the free agency puzzle has been resolved by Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings as defenseman Moritz Seider has agreed to a new seven-year deal that goes through the 2030-31 season.
The 23-year-old native of Germany was drafted by the Red Wings with the 6th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and has not missed a game during his first three seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) skating in all 246 games totaling 21 goals and 113 assists.
During his rookie season, Seider claimed the Calder Trophy for being voted as the league’s top rookie during the 2021-22 season.
