Seider wasn't on many pundits' radar as a top-six pick, but Red Wings executive vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman knew who he wanted in his first draft as Detroit's GM, and Seider is inching toward proving a lot of people wrong as he gets close to breaking through in the NHL.
"I'm excited about the prospect we got," Yzerman said at the draft. "I think he's a really good player and a really good kid. We'll find out, hopefully, in not too long, but we think we got an excellent prospect and somebody that will really fit into what we're doing and that our fan base will really enjoy watching and getting to know as a person."
...
"It was a big adjustment, but it's just great to have an opportunity to play hockey, and getting some games under your belt," Seider said in December. "It's a league where everyone can skate. It's a lot about skating here. You can't just run people over. You have to really be careful of using your stick and how you approach guys, so that was a really good thing to learn the first couple weeks."
...
"He had his heart set on playing. It turned out to be a great (decision)," Yzerman said. "He went to a really good organization, a good team, and was able to earn a big role on the team and play in all situations. Overall, I think it's been a real good year for him."
