Moritz Seider provides long-term defensive stability for the Detroit Red Wings

Summary

Moritz Seider remains under contract with the Detroit Red Wings through the 2030-31 season following his 2024 extension. The defenseman reached career highs last season with 10 goals, 50 assists, and 60 points while maintaining a plus-15 rating over 82 games. He currently averages 23:51 of ice time per game and has not missed an NHL appearance in his career. With the recent record-setting contract for Cale Makar in Colorado, Seider’s current $8.55 million average annual value is positioned as a significant financial asset for Detroit. The team intends to rely on his continued development as they attempt to return to the playoffs for the first time in over a decade.
