Seider is already impressing Derek Lalonde
Though Detroit Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde has not been around Mortiz Seider for very long, he is already impressed.
“That’s the exact way to put it. You get an appreciation for a player playing against him and he was awesome whenever we played him,” Lalonde said on the latest episode of the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast. “But then when you get here, a little more athletic than I even thought, a little more skilled than I probably gave him credit for, but passion, man. He wants to be a player.”
