Moritz Seider

24-Year-Old DefensemanD
Detroit Red Wings
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Seider is the clear leader on the Red Wings' blue line, and he's also a multi-category machine for fantasy managers. The defenseman had 46 points (eight goals, 38 assists) in 2024-25, but that included a career-high 24 power-play points. He also racked up 162 shots on net, 212 hits, 181 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 82 games. He has yet to miss a game in his career, which is even more impressive given his incredibly physical playing style. At 24 years old, it's possible he still finds a little more offense, especially if Detroit can get over the hump and back into a playoff spot. Even at his current level of offense, Seider's overall contributions make him a safe and reliable choice to build out a fantasy blue line. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a seven-year, $59.85 million contract with the Red Wings in September of 2024.
Tallies power-play assist
DDetroit Red Wings
January 1, 2026
Seider tallied a power-play assist and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Winnipeg.
ANALYSIS
Seider recorded the primary helper on Dylan Larkin's power-play goal to open the scoresheet in Wednesday's contest. With the apple, he now has 24 assists, 31 points, 98 shots on net, 70 hits and 90 blocks through 41 appearances this season. Even if his point pace slows at some point during the second half of the season, the 24-year-old blueliner is on a strong enough pace to reach a new career high in goals and points. Seider should continue to produce one of the best combinations of category-coverage stats from the blue line, giving him elite fantasy value in the second half of the season.

2020
Through his first three NHL seasons, Seider has played in every single regular-season game, racking up 21 goals and 113 assists along the way. The minutes-eating blueliner should continue to produce at a high level and figures to be a lock for the 40-point threshold, a mark he has hit every year. With a stronger supporting cast, Seider could even be poised to set new career highs during the 2024-25 campaign, perhaps topping the 10-goal mark for the first time and pushing for 25-plus power-play points - though the addition of Erik Gustafsson could relegate Seider to the second unit.
Seider hit the ground running during his rookie year, posting seven goals and 50 points en route to the Calder Trophy. He slipped to five goals and 42 points last season, but led Detroit with 190 blocked shots and 207 hits. The 22-year-old has quickly established himself as the top defender on the Red Wings as well as a valuable multi-category fantasy performer. Seider should be able to get back over the 50-point plateau in 2023-24 following the offseason addition of Alex DeBrincat, who will provide the power play of the Red Wings with a lift.
Seider's Calder Trophy-winning 2021-22 campaign was one for the ages. Playing nearly the entire regular season at age 20, Seider appeared in all 82 games for Detroit, posting seven goals and 50 points. He added 187 shots on goal and averaged 23:03 of ice time per game, including a whopping 2:53 with the man advantage. To give you an idea how effective Seider was, the Red Wings were a dreadful team last season and Seider still finished with only a minus-9 rating, a remarkable number considering how much playing time he received. Detroit added a bunch of quality players this summer in hopes of lengthening their roster, so it's certainly possible Seider's production may actually increase this coming season. He isn't going to last long on draft day.
With the goal of having him play a ton of minutes against decent competition, Detroit loaned Seider to Rogle of the SHL a season ago where he proceeded to post seven goals and 28 points in 41 games. The big German has shown more offensive ability than anyone expected when he was drafted No. 6 overall in 2019, and Seider now has the look of a two-way workhorse who can contribute consistently at both ends of the rink. Seider won't turn 21 years of age until April, but he has nothing left to learn or prove in the minors and the Red Wings are going to give him every opportunity to seize a full-time role in training camp.
Seider impressed in his first season with AHL Grand Rapids, notching 22 points in 49 contests. The sixth overall pick from the 2019 draft, Seider has the potential to join the growing ranks of German stars in the NHL. The 19-year-old certainly appears to have the scoring touch to do so, and his defensive skill set isn't bad, either. He's currently on loan in Europe ahead of NHL training camps getting underway, but he'll be in the mix for a spot on the Opening Night roster. While it wouldn't be surprising to see Seider spend another year in the minors, dynasty managers will want to acquire his services -- it's now or never in such formats. He's more of a wait-and-see player in redraft leagues, but he should make an impact within the next couple of years.
