AHL teams know that they're farm team, GR's GM is an assistant GM with the Wings. High first round picks always get ice time, just like Zadina did last year.
I mean his coach in Germany was slotting him as the 6/7 guy just last year.
Perhaps pairing wise.He was playing plenty of minutes on the second pairing.
Really a moot point unless you actually think Lashoff, Hicketts, McIlrath, Vili, and Lindstrom are better Dmen than Seider. If you do, then you're not worth arguing with anyways.That isn't how this works and it never will so to put it that way is absurd every time posters do it.
The DeVos family owns the team and while they have a very good working relationship with the Ilitch family even allowing Ryan Martin GM control they don't operate the team as an anything the Wings say goes operation. I really don't understand why people struggle with this the Griffins are not a Red Wings play thing. They are a professional sports organization with a very close working relationship but wins and proper team construct is going to take precedence over how a lot of posters like to put things.
McIlrath is important at that level because of the physicality. I think somebody else on the right will have to give, though honestly this is a huge reason I didn't want Hicketts in terms of Lashoff and McIlrath being your AHL types was fine, didn't need a third AHL guy in that picture. Oh well Simon will have to juggle if he gets Mo, but they aren't going to juice his ice time or do something just because that still isn't how it works at all. Seider will get to play because he is good enough to, but he will have to earn his ice time that is what professional hockey is about everywhere.

We're not talking some random 18 year old, and most career AHLer's have holes in their game. From what I've seen, Seider isn't a game breaker (right now), but he doesn't have any huge weaknesses like Hicketts, Lashoff, etc.Saying a veteran AHL guy is better than an 18 year old isn’t as blasphemous as you think. Also good luck having a more insightful conversation on here if you go that route.
Liljegren had a limited role in his +1 year in the AHL. It happens with guys drafted in the 1st round all the time. The AHL is a hard place to play for teenagers.

Seider's states Germany would be his third option.
I’ll put money on it that if Seider is in GR he’ll play more than most of those guysReally a moot point unless you actually think Lashoff, Hicketts, McIlrath, Vili, and Lindstrom are better Dmen than Seider. If you do, then you're not worth arguing with anyways.

FYI, Liljegren was on the top pair with PK and PP duties until he sprained his ankle this past season. He also got injured the previous season, and he was getting PK and PP duties in his first season as a Marlie. So that example actually supports my argument, not yours. Seider is a bigger kid, so hopefully he doesn't wind up with injuries like Liljegren who's a smaller dman.
There were 5 defenseman with more points than him in 17-18 on the Marlies, so I don’t think this is the case. Maybe by the end of the year he had a decent role. Pretty sure he was bottom 4 most of his +1 year.
If you're stat watching, just look at the number of games. He's been injured, reinjured himself in that one ECHL game which was supposed to be a conditioning stint.There were 5 defenseman with more points than him in 17-18 on the Marlies, so I don’t think this is the case.

Your assessment is wrong, just Google it. AHL doesn't track TOI, but every article shows he was top pair:
Why you shouldn't expect Timothy Liljegren and Rasmus Sandin...
Then Google articles from 2018. He was getting PP and PK time, not sure why I have to do research for you.That article is from his +2 season and not his +1 season.
As much as I wanna see the F & D kids take the reigns asap/dump the aging vets, I think baby-sitting Ericsson/Daley wouldn't be prudent. By mid-season, once he's tearing up GR & more time to adjust to NA ice, call him up to stay. He was only playing against prospects/rookies, but admittedly looks very good. Same thing for Veleno & Zadina, probably Svech and/or Ras too.I would put him in NHL 3rd pair.
We don't have to care about his NHL games, he is safe from Seattle expansion anyways. Just put him in.
