I thought he was supposed to be the second coming of jesus defensively; Laine now owns Seider.

You’re right. He got walked by a talented player in his first pre-season. Trade him for a 7th while GMs still think he has value.

Everyone knows that no good players ever make bad plays in the pre-season

Defense is hard. Especially for rookie blueliners. I think/hope this says more about Laine - that we are going to see a rebound season from him - than it does about Seider who is going to take his lumps this year (and likely be the better for it).
 
Surprised by how many shots seider has taken this pre-season. Was expecting 1 or 2 a game for most of his rookie year. But so far in pre-season he's been getting quite a few.

He's worked on his shot a lot during his offseason and it really shows. He's so much more comfortable shooting the puck now than in the past. He was excellent tonight I thought and it shouldn't take him too long to adjust to the NHL.

His assists were kind of nothingburgers, but it was a solid debut. 2 assists, +1, 3 hits, and 3rd on the team in TOI. He was less noticeable than the stats suggest, but still, a good 1st game.

Eh thats what happens in hockey, you get assists off of nothing plays but then don’t get assists when you have the breakout pass that starts it all. In the end it all evens out. And I disagree I think he stood out a ton, on the powerplay on defense he was very good and rarely made a mistake. He joined the rush and he was a physical presence.

That's how pretty much all of his assists come. He doesn't make a lot of incredibly dangerous passes, but he's excellent at moving the puck to open teammates, and does it constantly.

Anyway, I thought the most impressive thing was all the PP time he was getting. He was their #1 guy at the point, and looked very comfortable doing it. I didn't expect that.

He seems to have intentionally dialed back the physicality a bit. Id expect him to ramp that up as he acquaints himself to the league. Maybe the team asked him to take it easy for now to preserve his body a bit, or focus on defending without relying on his physical play? Weve seen him lay waste to large men in the AHL, SHL, and international tournaments at this point, so its not like he isnt capable of it.

If I have any understanding of Jeff Blashill's philosophy, and I think I do, the message he would send to Mo is to not go out and chase physicality. Being physical is a wonderful thing if it doesn't take you out of the play. When the opportunity is there to lay someone out and not take yourself out of the play, take it. Otherwise, play calculated defense because it's the best attribute he can bring.

What has made Mo so dominant in other leagues is his physical presence. He’s always done so without chasing. I wish he would play with more of that edge because he’s a different player without it… hopefully it’s just a matter of settling in and not galaxy brain Blashill over coaching as usual.
