Moritz Seider is the Red WIngs rookie of the year.

We’ll have to wait until the June 21 NHL Awards to find out it Detroit Red Wings defenseman Moritz Seider will be the winner of the Calder Trophy, which goes to the NHL rookie of the year.

No Red Wings player has been presented this award since goaltender Roger Crozier in 1964-65. However, Seider is the betting favorite to be the 2021-22 Calder winner.

Surprise, surprise. 😏
