That wraps up the awesome career for Nuka Seyde. At first glance, the thing that stands out for me is the amount of money this guy has made! As a bottom six guy, he sure made a whole lot of dough. Seyde is a big playmaking forward who can play wing and center. Coming out of the CCHL in his pre-OHL draft season, he put up a respectable 60 points in 60 games. I think that got many scouts in the OHL really excited because he was a big man qho could score a lot. Heading into Peterborough his first season, he killed it. 50 points in 68 games with a +19 rating as a rookie. The future looked bright for him. But he never really took the next step as a forward. His offense really stalled out. The Atlanta Thrashers saw something bright in Seyde though and as such, they took him in the first round 29th overall. Some may have thought because of his size he may earn a spot out of camp, but he was sent back to junior. He set a career high in goals that year in 2026-27! Early on in his pro career Seyde really couldn't get much offense going. He kind of bounced around the NHL getting a cup of coffee with Seattle and then moving on to Kansas City and Edmonton. It wasn't until he signed a nice deal with the Minnesota Wild where he started to get more opportunity. He started shooting the puck a lot more and it started to translate to more offense. From there he had some great years in Detroit, Atlanta and Washington. I also love that he was able to get some experience playing for Finland. He earned that. Seyde is a prime example of a guy who may have started off slow, but really built his career up near the end. Congrats on a great career!
