Filip Zadina and Moritz Seider were drafted with the expectation they would be key building blocks as the Detroit Red Wings try to regain competitiveness.

It bears notice what coach Jeff Blashill said after the team’s third exhibition game: expectations have to be kept in check.

Seider, this year's first-round draft pick, has, on the whole, looked solid and looked like a guy who could develop into an elite defenseman.
