And so far, he’s looking every bit as good as advertised.

From Hockey Sverige.se: (translated)
“Moritz Seider came to Rögle in the autumn on a loan from the Detroit Red Wings, which chose him as number six overall in the NHL draft in 2019. The German has been a great success and quickly became a profile in the entire league. In 41 matches in the Rögle jersey, the 20-year-old was noted for seven goals and 21 assists in the basic series and won the points league for juniors in the SHL before Djurgården’s William Eklund (11 + 12 = 23 points).”
