Rookie reads 'Mean Tweets' from when he was drafted
NHL general managers get a lot of flack when they �go off the board' and draft a player that surprises people.
The fans definitely have their strong opinions when such things happen!
Steve Yzerman has made himself one of the best GMs in the NHL. He's a big part of the construction of the current Tampa Bay Lightning that has one back-to-back Stanley Cups.
Now he's in charge of the rebuilding Detroit Red Wings who are looking to be on the right track.
However, Yzerman caught a lot of flack and fans were even calling for his termination after he went off the board and drafted defenseman Moria's Seider with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
(Seider was ranked in the 15 to 20 range leading up to the draft).
Three years later, the 21-year-old is the Calder Trophy winner for rookie of the year.
The Red Wings social media team made sure to keep receipts from that night though!
Here's Seider reading those �'mean tweets'' from his draft night:
