Joe Veleno, Moritz Seider To Remain In Europe

December 22, 2020 at 2:30 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 4 Comments

Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman held a conference call with reporters (video link via the Detroit Free Press) and among the major announcements was that both Joe Veleno and Moritz Seider will be staying in Sweden until the end of the SHL season instead of returning for training camp. Filip Zadina, Filip Hronek, Gustav Lindstrom, and Mathias Brome, who are all also out on loan, will be brought back.

Veleno, 20, is playing for Malmo in the SHL where he has 11 points in 21 games so far. The 30th overall selection in 2018 had an up-and-down AHL debut last year when he scored 23 points in 54 games, but still has a very high ceiling as a two-way center that could be a staple in the Red Wings lineup for years to come. Leaving him in Europe certainly would suggest that the Red Wings believe he has more developing to do before really pushing for an NHL roster spot, though Yzerman did note there are still so many questions about what the AHL season will look like this season.

Seider meanwhile is still just 19 but is looking right at home at the SHL level. Playing with Rogle, he has 12 points in 17 games and was not released to the German World Junior squad. Selected sixth overall in 2019 to the surprise of many, Seider has quickly become one of the top prospects in the entire world and is a key to the Detroit turnaround. The 6’4″ defenseman has all the attributes of a true number one option, meaning his development is absolutely crucial to the Red Wings.

Speaking about all of the players who have suited up overseas, Yzerman noted that though playing in Europe has likely sharpened the games of Zadina and others, it isn’t the NHL and they’ll still have to prove themselves on this side of the pond.

It’s important to remember too, that though they will stay for the rest of the year, Veleno and Seider could potentially be late-season recalls for the Red Wings once things end overseas. The SHL regular season schedule completes at the beginning of April while the NHL regular season isn’t expected to be completed until May.

    Why wouldn’t Seider be released to play in WJ’s if he’s not coming to NHL camp? Silly

      Because he would end up missing 12 games to only play a handful

      And you think those 7 SHL games are more important to Seider than being at the WJ as maybe the best player there?

      Playing against men instead of kids. He dominated last year on the German team n has nothing else to prove. He’s playing great, just let him develop out there. Especially comin back to North America is a bigger covid risk, and he’d have to quarantine 2 weeks again when he goes back to Sweden.
      And him and Veleno can’t come to Detroit because the SHL has them signed for the season, it’s a deal they made with the NHL
